She's a ton of fun (dually build on air) - Page 17 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think it depends on what year, I've seen them on both sides. It really doesn't matter to me though because I plan to run the hydraulic slave and I'll just run my lines.

That--and it may be driven by 2WD/4WD undercarriage, because of the shaft on the left

Ok---so it's been several days since you flashed those semi wheels in my face! I gotta have some now. What do you watch for--any 22" alloy semi wheel? Are there different mass 22's? Is there a good semi parts for sale forum? And how much should I have to pay for 4?

In my research I have discovered the best wheels to find are the 10 hole Alcoa wheels. They do come in different widths the ones I bought are 8.5" wide. I really wanted to find some that are 7.5" wide but these will work. I paid $100 per wheel and that's about as cheap as I have found them. You also must know it cost about $125 per wheel to have them milled from a 22.5" to a 22" and then you have to buy 8 to 10 lug adapters that will cost you around $800. So if you buy 6 aluminum Alcoa wheels $600 have them all milled $750 and buy adapters $800; you will have $2150 invested in just wheels and bolting them to your truck! It's not cheap but it will be worth it!!

Thanks for that scoop! While you were posting that, I ran across a place that does the milling, etc., and your price guidelines run right about what he is. It helps to know that what he told me about what they do, and why, is exactly what you say. I might mention that he likes the steel adapter instead of cast iron. Of course he likes it because that's what he sells. But actually, it sounded like he has handled both.

These aren't Alcoas, but what do you think about the bigger holes? These are just an example--as I look for some, I might run across anything.

jkeating1 · 03-01-2013, 04:51 PM

Better pic of steel adapter

5150 · 03-01-2013, 05:13 PM

I know where some 18 inch 10 holes are.

Rusbuilt · 03-01-2013, 05:55 PM

I think the big holes have a cool look.

Bryan do you mean 10 hole or 10 lug?

I like this website:
http://www.tnwheelandtire.com/site/769454/page/923583

I also like their wheel adapters better than the ones you posted.
They are front and rear specific.

They are off of a motorhome. I'm over in your old neck of the woods for the day. They are at board member Woodridge's place up in Maynardville. I'll see if I can get a pic.

Cool.
I see the used 22.5's on Craigslist, but people want crazy prices for them around here.

Rusbuilt · 03-02-2013, 06:33 PM

Yeah I lucked up on these 4 I bought. I think I have a line on the other two I need also!!

**lolife99** · 03-02-2013, 06:57 PM

Cool.
I know you wanted the 7.5" version,... but a 265/35-22 tire, will fit better on a 8.5" wide wheel.

Rusbuilt · 03-02-2013, 09:40 PM

Thats true, I had considered my tire height but not the width.

ThreeQtr · 03-03-2013, 09:52 AM

Not to keep posting pics of other trucks, but maybe some one with photoshop could lower this to get a better idea of the look your after. At least its blue.

Rusbuilt · 03-03-2013, 11:57 PM

I like that truck, I've seen a few pics of it on here!

jkeating1 · 03-04-2013, 12:21 AM

thats an interesting photo---the gas filler neck is in the shot, indicating the pic is reversed, yet the "pods" logo is not reversed.

ThreeQtr · 03-04-2013, 07:49 AM

You noticed, I did reverse it (forget why) and the pods sign. I also used the trees to cover a house being built in the background. But I only have Paint, which takes alot to piece the wheels together. As far as I know it's the only way to get a lowered look with Paint (tucking them up into the wheelwells).

JRANGER · 03-04-2013, 10:45 AM

Here ya go...Not perfect but

Rusbuilt · 03-04-2013, 04:40 PM

Bags all the way! I can't wait!

5150 · 03-07-2013, 07:58 PM

Here you go Rus, sorry for the delay 18x6's
