Where Can I Find A Quality OEM Wheel

  • I'm posting this for my father, he is restoring a beautiful 1969 C-10 LWB.
  • He ordered a wheel from LMC truck and it flexes much more than stock.
  • I have a feeling all aftermarket OE replicas will be like this.
  • Is it just a bad batch or does anyone have a recommendation for a quality aftermarket OE style wheel?
  • Also if anyone is selling a non cracked wheel, I will buy.
  • Side-note: I suggested to my father he doesn't need a 17" wheel because the truck has power steering now, correct right? Any other Chevy wheels that work well? (non-tilt column)
  • Here's the wheel we are looking for;


Thanks, denmat775

Welcome and post some pictures of the wheel. I just finished a 67 Chevelle SS wheel. How bad is it? You can call around and have it redone if you want it orignal. It will cost you though! I did the 67 myself which it wasn't in bad shape but needed some work.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
