What are these wheels from?
So these wheels came on the 67 C10 I have, but there's only 2, I need another pair but I have no clue what they came off of, anyone have any ideas?
6 lug, 15"x (8? Guess) has 70 tires on em now could easily handle 60s Not bad looking wheels, my plan media blast em and powder coat them black (maybe some old school pinstriping on em (?) and find center caps. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What are these wheels from?
Looks to be a very skinny 15x6 wheel or the offset is way to the inside.

Re: What are these wheels from?
Most of the wheel is on the inside, it's kind of an odd wheel design, notice how the valve stem is tucked behind/in the back part of the wheel....

Re: What are these wheels from?
Judging by the large center bore, I am going to say likely off an Asian light duty truck. They look really similar to the stock 14" that came off my Mazda. The valve stem was the same way, tucked behind the face.

Re: What are these wheels from?
Generally 6 lug trailer wheels use the smaller GM bore.

It would be much easier to track down 4 of these than to find 2 more of what you have.

Re: What are these wheels from?
I'm going with the early Mitsubishi, Isuzu. Positive offset so probably from a little 4x4. It may be the pic but the lug holes look wallowed out. If your lug nut seats too far in I wouldn't spend the money/time on these. Not worth the risk.

Re: What are these wheels from?
6 lug trailer axles usually use the small 3.75" GM hub bore, those are "Asian" wheels with the larger 4" or 4.25" center bore, see the gap between the wheel and the hub in the pictures?

Re: What are these wheels from?
Excellent points guys. I think you're right on with the import truck wheels found a few pics of stock import truck wheels that are pretty close

Re: What are these wheels from?
Bingo?
Well, the good news is that on the rear axle this 67 has the stock steelies for caps, which I'd prefer to run anyway, just need a pair of those and choose which caps to run, thanks guys Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What are these wheels from?
No, those are 14" wheels from a Mazda Truck, not 15". Notice the holes behind the spokes are flat not pointed like yours. The ones above are 15"s from a Toyota, again, close, but not quite.

Re: What are these wheels from?
My vote is Suzuki- they had a large center hole, five lugs spaced w/ a GM bolt circle, and the set-back valve stem. I don't have my kid's Sidekick available (she totaled it), but it sure looks familiar.
I'm not a big fan of swapping wheels from different makes. Too much potential for mayhem. I've seen too many potentially deadly combos roll into shops I've worked in. Just because it fits or 'looks cool' means nothing when over-stressed lugs or an overloaded wheel fails. Posted via Mobile Device |

And Suzuki Sidekick and Samurai were NOT GM 5 lug pattern, they were 5x5.5" which is Ford/Dodge/Jeep etc. GM 5 lug was 5x5" on the trucks. I do agree though, these wheels were intended for a small truck with a GVWR that barely covers the unloaded weight of these 1/2 ton trucks. There are better options out there. I went the opposite way, and ditched the import wheels for some GM wheels on my Mazda, although I had to machine the tiny GM center bores to fit over the larger Mazda hubs. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f4...-22-25_694.jpg http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f4...-27-29_978.jpg
