C30 after market wheels???
Who makes some nice wheels for a dually?
Have never owned a dually before, and the stock wheels just do it for me. Any other years match the bolt pattern?

Re: C30 after market wheels???
my first dually too and I just notice, I'm running ford rims on my C30. Was going to powder coat them but I really don't want these rims, so I too, will be looking for a swap.....

Re: C30 after market wheels???
Mine is a 1972 C30 chevy that i just discovered the ford rims on the rear dually. As I posted I don't want them. So, I too will be looking for replacements. I don't want any stinking ford parts on my C30......

Re: C30 after market wheels???
What year C/30? The 67-70s had 1/2" studs and used castle-type flat back lug nuts. In '71 they went to 9/16", just like later models, and a plate with chamfered holes for typical lug nuts. Just search wheel places. I haven't shopped lately, but I see all types of styles made for 8 on 6 1/2" pattern. On a 67-70 you'd want to go to 9/16" studs. I heard Alcoa stopped making the light truck wheels.

Re: C30 after market wheels???
I laugh at the foolish Ford hate.
Accuride made almost every ones of those wheels for decades, GM, Ford, and Dodge. If it bothers you, a smear of filler in the Ford stamp and forget it was ever there. |

Re: C30 after market wheels???
I agree that White wheels, chrome lugs would make it pop

Re: C30 after market wheels???
I'm glad you replied and included the little smiley face so I could see you were doing it for fun.
For some reason I'm quick to jump to arms when folks do mindless hate for other brands. Any reasonable person knows that all three built good stuff. Some, maybe more gooder ![]() well, maybe not home runs or base hits, but Dodge has built some stuff over the years. okay, I once knew a fellow who had a neighbor whose brother in law liked Dodge. |

Now that I think about it, seems like GM has the smallest center bore so GM wheels don't interchange to the other two brands. That's just going off of memory so don't run out and buy anything based on it. |

Re: C30 after market wheels???
Yes gm is smaller. I've run lots of ford and dodge wheels on pickups that were single wheel with tapered lugs but I neever swapped bud rims that were flat in the middle for the reason I stated even though I've bought a couple sets of tires that came on ford bud rims for both my 01 box van and my 71 dump. I was worried they should be out of center, especially the duals from each other as they were paired. Maybe not that big a deal but I always swapped the tires onto my Chevy rims when it came to bud wheels to be sure

Re: C30 after market wheels???
I'm not sure of bolt patterns or stud size etc
We have a tire guy in town that has been in business forever He always grabs used bud wheels when he's out and about We have switched over from split rims on several trucks If I remember correctly 69 and 70 the studs are thinner And 71-72 studs are thicker (I'm not a mechanic) So I don't know the measurements We would just size them up and see if they fit If you guys want the exact info pm me and I'll ask him Seems like this thread was more about moving away from steelies I personally like old school steel With shinny covers |

Re: C30 after market wheels???
I wish you lived closer. I could possibly take them off your hands. I'm sure shipping would be more than the wheels and tires themselves.
