You can buy them brand new in St. Paul from pioneer rim and wheel for about $42.00 a piece. Even if you got some used ones for 20, you still gotta blast em, paint em and hope there straight or pay to get rid of the skins on em. You can get exactly which size you want too. good luck

Sakohntr,
Do you know what wheel size you used. I was talking to a sales guy there and his book didn't go that far back '67. Then he starts talking about stud size and pilot size, which I wasn't sure about.

Talk to junkyardjohn on wheel studs. He knows more than I. I dont know what year you are putting them on but i do know they changed to a larger diameter in early 70's. You might want to upgrade to the larger if you dont have them already. I dont believe the pilot hole dimension ever changed on GM.

The wheels I got from them were dated GM 1976 to 2000. Pre 76 wheels where still split rim 2 pc style. They will have a 4-5/8 diameter hub center and they will be set up for 1971 and later 9/16" wheel studs not the 1/2" earlier studs. If you run a wider tire on these rims, you will also need to add a spacer between the 2 rims. I think I am running 235-85-16 tires on my motorhome and they rubbed. It also meant I had to install longer studs too.
