Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Yes, Wheel Vintiques offers these OEM-style steel wheels in various widths and diameters. I plan on buying 16 x 8s for my '72. If you want other styles, there are a few steel designs in powder coat or chrome and various alloys. I like the AR23s by American Racing. Now, if they'd make a wheel like that with no rivets I'd be all the happier. A 5-spoke alloy wheel with no nooks & crannies, smooth surfaces, would get my attention. It seems the classy wheels like that get discontinued to make more room for over styled fad chasing what's it wheels.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Took the wheel covers off this morning and popped on some 67 dog dish caps I have. Pretty happy with the way they look against black steelies, I'll probably leave them on for a while.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
The steelies on my C20 truck is widened 90's steel wheels. I had them widened 1.5 front and 2.5 or 3(can't remember) for the rear wheels.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I have always really appreciated what you did with those wheels. When I ordered my '92 K3500 new I had just that process planned for it...yet never pursued it. I just retired that truck in June after 22 years a 335,000 miles. I'm about to pick up a '95 Suburban I may just have that done on. That's a great look for a C/20. I have yet to see others done. you've got a unique wheel and it seems to go over everyone's head. Nice truck!

I actually had them painted in a dark grey colour at first. Then I decided to go with the same yellow as the truck after I restored it. I'm sure it would look good on a 90's truck or Suburban too. If you do it to a 90's truck, please post some pics, I'm also interested in the 90's trucks.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Hope this isn't a highjack but if you have 15" 6-bolts, would you stay 15" or have you gone to 16" 6 bolts? I prefer a stock look but not having much luck finding 6 bolt 15" for a decent price up here.
Thanks

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Yes it is. Did about the same job as you did to your beautiful K20, just looked at your build thread, really good job.
Here's my build thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=386276

Jc, good to see you still have those two. I believe you were the first here to sport the painted cap/wide ww look

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I have found a new affinity for blue trucks JC since I bought the 70 I'm doing as a driver!
What a beautiful example.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Well I thought I had posted my steelies, but apparently that was just a wishful dream during the early stages of the project! Here they are. GM Transit 22s, '52 Stainless Caps, 265/30r22. I'm working on the build thread as we speak and I have a classified ad under MISC out there for some extra sets of the Transits.
Details of truck in sig. ![]() ![]()

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I only have the fronts mounted right now, I'm planning on having the rears widened 2".
I'm going to run some chrome dog dish caps but I'm still undecided on exactly which ones. Nissan 20" spares ![]()

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I had not been following this thread. I found it in a link from another thread.
From the start, this thread has been hard to follow so I just skipped around. The OP could have saved a lot of confusion with a different title. Instead of "Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!", "Who's on Steel Wheels?" I put my steelies away forty years ago. ![]() ![]()
