Question Wheels For C10

I have been looking at 15x8 inch wheels for a C10. I like the wheels that hide the lug nuts and there's no big honking center cap. I really like the Centerline Scorpion wheels because the lugs are covered...just a clean look. But when I called Centerline to get the lowdown, the guy was steering me away from the Scorpion due to load capacity issues. I think they spec out at 1625 lbs each. The American Racing Rodmaster series 132 is nice but they don't show coming in 6x5.5 lug pattern. The Cragar 390's are similar to the American Racing but I haven't seen that they come in 6x5.5 either.

Anyway...does anyone have any recommendations that they have used or seen used.

Thanks.

Re: Wheels For C10

I would go with the Scorpions, if you like them and don't plan on overloading your truck. 3,200 lbs will give you a good 3/4 ton of load on the rear axle.

Scorpions @1,625# are fine for your Stepside.There are Welds that are rated heavier w/caps.

Re: Wheels For C10

Thanks for the info. Now I've just got to talk myself into spending $300 a wheel.

Thanks again.

Re: Wheels For C10

Centerline might still have the "wheel deals" on their site. They used to run some really good deals. They are very strong rims. I have them on my 70'.
