I saw these wheels on Ebay and I think they would look really nice on my 71' C20. Are they what they appear or am I about to be ripped off.

THOSE WHEELS WOULD LOOK GREAT ON ONE OF OUR TRUCKS-BUT THE PRICE IS A LITTLE HIGH. NORMALLY I WOULD PAY ABOUT $200.00 WITH TIRES. AN YES I HAVE. YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO SPEND ABOUT $48.00 ON THE CORRECT LUG NUTS TO FIT ON OUR 67-72 TRUCKS. THE ONES THAT THOSE WHEELS CAME OFF OF ARE METRIC. YOU ARE ALSO IN OHIO? THAT MEANS SHIPPING TOO. IF IT WERE ME, I WOULD KEEP LOOKING. THESE ARE RIGHT HERE IN SEATTLE-BUT I THINK I WOULD PASS ALSO!

They appear to be what they are - their off of a newer 90's - 2000 model chevy. I'd be curious about the lugnuts - they are metric from the factory.

Thanks for the advice, I've bought enough "wrong" things in my life because I didn't ask somebody who knew. I think I will pass on these wheels.

I've seen these rims on our trucks and they pretty good, I was thinking about putting them on mine. They are off of the newer Chevys. I'm sure you could find them for cheaper than that though, check the yards.

Those rims do fit as I have put them on my 3/4 chevy . I did have to get different lugnuts as those are to small. Also you have to double nut the back wheels as the center caps won't clear hubs otherwise.(use your standard lugnuts then the new ones over those)

I have them on my Longhorn. Got them from Elkhart, Indiana where they do conversions so they are new pull offs, the rings and center caps were still packaged. Choice of GMC or Chevy. They are about the same price. Here's a pic...

Where do you get the Lug nuts to make the caps work? What size are they.

Thanks Bill

That is what I am going to run. I got my lugs from Stocton wheel. http://www.stocktonwheel.com I alsos bought matching dualie center caps for the rear(covers the floating hub.) Very limited in wheel choices for 8 lugs so I think these are a good choice. Since they are only availale in 7"(6.75) width, I had a stock car guy widen my rear rims so I now have 16x9 rear and stock 16x6.75 fronts. This makes the dualie center cap flush like the front. I am going to run general 275 55 16s all the wayn around. I will post photos when I mount them or you can check my web page. I paid $200 for mine with used tires but and the ride is much better than the bias ply stockers.
