new wheels and tires

[Chrisn]

trying to find an inexpensive way to put new wheels and tires on my c20 fleetside. I swear I have looked all over and it is hard for me to find good deals on classic rims.....any suggestions?

Get some steelies from the junk hard, clean them up and either paint or powdercoat them. Then, find some hubcaps. Search my old posts for a thread I started, called questions about steelies. It should answer everything you would want to know about this style

i have looked in all the pick apart and junk yards around me the problem is that there is not a whole bunch and i cant seem to find any and if i do they are damaged. do you know of anywhere online that sells used rims?

Can get some white wagon wheels cheaper and they look great on these old trucks.

i really wanna put smoothies on it but i dont know how to start that process either. I will go look for some wagon wheels but i didnt know if they would be strong enough to hold the weight of my 3/4 ton c20

We had wagon wheels on a 3/4 with a 10' overhead camper with zero issues, hauled a 475gallon water tank in the bed with zero problems, they are plenty strong enough.
They also have a classic look on a older truck IMO.

Go to Tear a Part in Salt Lake 45 minutes from you. They have plenty. Keep in mind that you can get them on ford and chevy vans too

thank you so much i ended up finding some steel wheels from a local guy trying to sell some and i got them for dirt cheap. now onto the tire.....i know my truck has a 127 inch wheel base and the rims are 16x10. I have been doing research but cant seem to decide what size tire would look best....what are your suggestions?
