Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Ford used a style of aluminum rim on the E250 vans that looked like Alcoas. https://www.hubcaphaven.com/c/2460/f...eels_rims.html

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I have used the 8 bolt alcoas on my longhorn. Purchased these wheels back in about 2001, and I like the look that it gives my pickup

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I just bought some new stock steel wheels from a late model 2500 van. Also bought new center caps and lug nuts. The old wheels were split rims and totally sucked. Most tire shops didn't want to work on them.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Thanks for all the replies. That does look good TwoTone72s. I am pretty sure that's what I'm going to go with now that I've seen them on the truck

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Those look exactly like my M/T I’m putting on my Golden . I like them in black . I was even toying with painting them black . Very labor intensive polishing them .

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I thought they were too black and I added bronze to the centre caps and a gold pin strip. I like this better.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
My 1970 C20 with newer Chevy 8-lug wheels that were on it when I bought the truck. I like them so they will stay.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I'm having a tough time picking my new wheels. I know I'm going to use the Detroit Steel Smoothie wheel. I know I'm going with a 20"- just having a hard time picking the back spacing. So I made a wood wheel! 20 x 11 with 6" back spacing. It leaves 1.5" on the back side and 3/4" on the front but, the sides are going to stick out. I'm thinking about going with a 20 x 10 with 6" back spacing to pull the wheel "in" a little more....

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Thanks bud. That was back in 2015.
Nobody made a 17" wheel that could hold a factory hubcap so I had no choice by to figure it out and make my own solution. I've seen posts now that US Wheel makes one now (Series 664)... 17 x 9 and 17 x 10 with positive offsets which is nice. They don't have the 4 small factory "windows" but most people would probably not even notice that small detail. -G

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I installed Western Wheel cyclones 8.25x16.5 cyclones. Polished and powder coated. They were the best conditioned parts on the truck. I sold the truck last year.
