Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Factory steelies from a '92 GMC C2500. Kind of sad I can't use the center caps that came with them, but oh well.
16x7 with 245/70r16. Man, I need to take some new pics.

Not sure what size stud the 3/4ton uses but they have many selections: http://www.ezaccessory.com/Chevy_GMC_Style_s/62.htm I know that for the 1/2 ton that I did some time back, I used the 1/2"-20 lug nuts to be able to use the black plastic lug nut covers that hold the center cap on the wheel.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I got mine powder coated a few months ago.. very happy with them.. I also put a youtube link for a video I posted. You can get a closer look at one of the rims in the video.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
When I bought my '72 it had OEM 6.5 x 16.5 wheels. I had the 9.75 x 16.5s with 33/12.50s and I think I already showed a picture. I tried to sell it back in '07 and wanted to keep the wheels,so I swapped the tires onto a set of 8.25 turbine-style wheels. Once those tires started checking I painted up a set of '80s GM 6" wheels with mounted 235/75-16s to get me by till I put the 6" lift on to fit the 37/12.50-16.5 Super Swampers mounted on 8.25 x 16.5 steelies . But now I have come to consider maybe not go so big and unload the wheels,tires,and suspension in favor of running a 2-4" lift with a set of 255/75-16s mounted on Accuride 7" steelies that I have. Last week I bolted them on. They fit,but I want it off the tires more (and original springs are tired). I think I've shown the 6" GM wheels on it already (painted white). I had bought these Accurides and tires for my '92 K3500 to get through the winter,so I painted them rallye wheel argent. I kinda like it,especially on an all white truck.
Here are pictures,skipping the aluminum wheels,through the years starting with the factory 6.5 x 16.5s:

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Keep us posted on this. I have been looking into them for my Burb. Only negative thing I have been told was how heavy they are. They looks great!

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Almost ready for the summmer, wheels are 17" from http://www.wheelvintiques.com/ -they are 6-lugs.
There is also an 1" spacer on the rear wheels. |

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Thanks. Nitto 420S, Front: 245/45/20 Rear: 285/50/20. I have a set of smooth moon caps, but I doubt I am going to put them on. Too nice for this old truck!

This thing has the original 307 in it so I am not too concerned with shredding the tires with horsepower and am not too worried about weight. This old girl is for cruising, not racing (Got a 12s TBSS for that) I can definitely see these wheels not being the best for certain builds. There are aluminum wheels that look like these, but they were 4x the price.
