Skinny K20 Steel Wheels
What do you guys think of this wheel for a K20 with 235-85-16 Tires?
I can get these wheels for about $75 each and they'll require much less cleanup to make them the color I want. Seems like I can get squarebody K20 wheels for nearly $100 each and they'll require sandblasting to make nice. Or all I find is trailer wheels. Last edited by Jason Banks; 12-20-2023 at 09:19 AM. |

Re: Skinny K20 Steel Wheels
That's about as cheap as any wheel you could get. Who sells those?

Re: Skinny K20 Steel Wheels
I saw them on eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/314437884570
But that part number is available several places - https://racelinewheels.com/products/lt-single or in Canada for really cheap: https://tiredirect.ca/products/x45304 If you search the part number - X-45304 or X-45304C like the ebay listing there are many sellers. |

Re: Skinny K20 Steel Wheels
I ordered 4 of the eBay wheels. They look really nice. It will be a while before I get tires for them...
I was a little afraid because they say something about damage at the end of the eBay listing. they only had some minor scratches and more box rash than anything. |

Re: Skinny K20 Steel Wheels
Don’t know what year K20 you’re dealing with, but if you have the original drum brakes some stock type 16” steelies have rivets that will slightly touch and warp those hard to find drums (I learned this the hard way). Full welded rim don’t seem to have that problem. If you’re running discs you should be fine
FWIW I think 235-85 16’s on those rims are the perfect look on a K truck. Tom

Re: Skinny K20 Steel Wheels
Orange Crate, just trying to replicate the look of the original 7.5 x 16 Bias ply tires. Leaning heavily towards the Firestone Destination MT/2 - https://www.firestonecompleteautocar...17041217781899
There's so many choices in all price ranges in that size. I think at least the Firestone is an american brand(no idea where tires are made) and the MT/2 is supposed to be a great tire. Here's another choice, but I'm no sure you can even buy them currently - Michelin XZL 255/100R16 Tom, Short 3/4. I'll check out the rivet situation. Thanks for the tip! |
