I used wheel vintiques steelies on my truck, you can order them from Jegs or summit, for around 60-70 dollars a piece

Re: Need Source for 15 x 8 Steelies
Check with www.truespoke.net. They have 15x8 steel oem hubcap wheels in a 5 or 6lug. They are one of only a few companies still making a hubcap wheel in a 6lug, and I found them to be priced better than the others.

Re: Need Source for 15 x 8 Steelies
I'm a huge fan of big & littles on a truck or hot rod. I love a 15x8 rear and a 15x6 up front. So I have spent so many hours on the web and phone with different wheels suppliers and manufactures that has made my eyes and ears bleed. Truespoke is a good supplier for the 15x8, but I also found a even better place to find a 15x6 wheel. There has become a huge following of old vintage airstream trailers, and the bigger trailers came from the factory with 15x6 hubcap wheels in a gm 6 lug. So I turned my research turned to airstream restoration companies and what do you know..... somebody making 15x6 hubcap wheels dirt cheap. So here is my gift to the truck board http://www.vintagetrailersupply.com/..._p/vts-545.htm.

Re: Need Source for 15 x 8 Steelies
Nope,not factory. But,they were sold aftermarket,just like the 8 x 15 6-lugs and 8.25/9.75 x 16.5 8-lugs. I have a rare set of 5-lug 8 x 15s. I'm glad they are finally starting to make these again. Obviously they have become popular...again. I like big littles,too,but on a truck that's 8s & 10s. 6"s are easy. Just get factory wheels.
