clean nice looking wheels for the 8 lugs 2wd's?

[supersize75k5]

Does anyone have some nice wheels on there 3wd 3/4 tons? any pics would really help! pretty please, aslo any 3/4 or droped 3/4 tons out there?

[Robert1970C20rstbukt]

3wd?????? Never heard of that. I know, you meant 2wd. White spokes look cool. So do stock rims painted black either with or without hubcaps. I like using rims without hubcaps so you can see the 8 lugs and that mean axleshaft sticking out of the rear tires.

Here's mine, eagle outlaws, they're ok looking, a little too busy for me though.

Here are my Eagle #058's

here is my old school chrome wagon wheels with 90"s style center caps

Stock late model ralleys are an inexpensive choice with a clean look and nice looking caps & rings...
or there are some really high-dollar aluminum wheels out there for the unlimited budgets.

Here are mine.

I have heard of the 8 Bolt rallys before but never seen them. know I have seemn them. They would be my choice for my 84 C20.

These are pull-off's from a conversion place in Elkhart In. Late model rallies...

Pierce,

Looks sharp! Never seen those on our trucks. How's the offset? Got any front/rear pics?

Thanks...SSOW

These aren't on a 67-72 truck but they are 8 lug....

[supersize75k5]

thanks guys! I am not into spending 2000.0 for a set of rims, but rallys just wont foot the bill, I guess I am leaning to a larger wheel and tire in the rear and a skinny up front, a hot rod look, know what I mean?


Kind of into the kragers ect..

But I am open to ideas, any pics of this set up on step side trucks?


thanks again, I am loving this board

Thanks
I'll try to get some more pics. Not sure on the offset, just standard rallies. I don't like the fake plastic lug nuts that screw over the double threaded nuts to hold on the center cap, very cheezy IMO

I got just what you need-17.5 x 7's that came special-ordered on this old 'Burb I'm parting out. (I have the build sheet and they are listed on it). Problem is, I asked the guy at the tire store about tires that size, and I think it was the best laugh he'd had all week.

post some pics, wheel size is odd though

That's the best looking wheel I have seen on these old trucks. It almost looks like a factory option, but has enough bling to set your truck apart...

What about the current body style 2500 wheels

I have a request.............First off, what year Burb? Can you post a picture of the wheels and the build sheet?

Mark

I haven't quite figured out how to post pics yet-I'm still working on it. I'll get some took and try again. Story I got from the old farmer who sold me the 'Burb was that he ordered it that way because he had two other much older chevy trucks-2 tons I think-and he wanted everything to have the same size wheels. He gave me 6 of 'em, with the baldest tires I've ever seen on them. We got 4 of 'em to hold air . It's a '68 2WD.

Ya baby!!!

I just know from experience what you go through when you have to look for odd tire sizes.
I actually just did a search on the web and there might be a few 17.5's out there.
I just think think that it's a cool option (and "farmer" story). This might be something for the "rarest of the rare 67-72 options" thread. That's why I wanted to see the build sheet. Man............Old farmer stories are always the best!

P.S. Re: your signature.....36 year old virgin

It never entered my mind to take any other way-it was exactly the same response I got from the tire store guy. These are listed on the build sheet as: *R82 F7x175x6 N and *R82 R7x175x6 N. I'm sure they are the same, I can't imagine why they would make note of front and rear.

As for my signature, it refers to the fact that my Panel is stock except for wheels and seats-but I'm fixin' to start a frame-off resto and modest customizing.

Thanks for the link-I think these would make good mudders, tall and skinny, for someone.
