OEM Rim/Hubcap Help Needed. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Need some serious Wheel experts advise.

I have the original full cover hubcaps for my 1971 Blazer 4x4 with factory Front Disc brakes. 2 Full rear and 2 front knock outs for the 4x4 hubs. (see picture for exact type)

What I don't have is the original rims that came on the Blazer.

I've read that the original rims (H78-15 on glove box decal) are 15x6 steel wheels.

Question: Since these 15x6 wheels are so dam elusive here in Denver, what 6 lug aftermarket rim sizes can I buy that will:

1. Fit these full cover hubcaps so they mount/stay on firmly and look stock

2. Depth will not interfere with the front 4x4 hub locks. IE.. Hubs will still protrude beyond the hubcap.

3. Where can I find/buy?

Stock rims would be preferred but at this point I'll accept close to get there things on my truck.

Thanks in advance.

They'll pop onto about any steel 15" wheel.white spokes,for example.I can't believe you can't find any stock wheels there.Have you tried a WTB on Craigslist?Jeep products used the same pattern,such as original Wagoneers,Cherokees,and J10 trucks.

Late Seventies-early Eighties square body trucks had a 15x7 spoked wheel that is GM. I got a pair of 6-lug versions for my '69 to clear the disc brakes while it is a roller in body-shop hell. Here's a pic. Your caps would fit on them just like stock
