Doug,

Where did you find those wide steel rims and the crome caps? I have been looking for a set of those for my Gmc Longhorn to put on the rear.

Doug,
Stance is just right! Are they 16.5x9.75's? What size tire and how much lift?
Killer look dude! Thanks for sharing.

wild4wheels · 10-12-2010, 11:58 AM

Put mine to work today..ok, just a trip to Lowes but here she is dirty. Forget what the wheels are called but picked em up used off Craigslist in Phili.

Yes, you are correct on wheel size. Tires are 33s, with a 3-4 inch lift (not exactly sure on lift - I think it's near 4 inches. Fit's in the garage, tires don't rub! Wheels are kelsey hayes.

Thanks!

dougo · 10-12-2010, 05:27 PM

The center caps are out there... took me a few months to find them. I got the caps from PICKMUP on the board, then painted them. Caps are stainless. I've seen them on Ebay too - from time to time.

Rims - they are kelsey hayes, I found them locally. Hard to find... but worth the search.

I have a set of Accuride steelies off of a Ford truck, 16x7. Due to the different offset, the stick out further in relation to the centers than GM wheels. Thus they have a look similar to the old 16.5 wide wheels, and they take a dog dish. If I get a chance I'll snap a pic. They take a set of 265/17-16s nicely.

playstock · 01-21-2011, 07:22 PM

1969 longhorn with 22"s.

77flh · 01-21-2011, 07:53 PM

This thread is fantastic. Slots, Turbines and what appears to be Jackman Whitespokes on Cadillacarts truck in #103. All these wheels were the rage when I was a kid. Around here the slang for the slots with the lip like in STLLOKN's #40 post is "kidney bean" slots due the shape of the slot compared to the ones without the lip, like these ones.

Anyone got a set of Jackman Aluminum spokes? I seem to remember it was not uncommon for the guys who had them to constantly have to add air to them.

I actually run a set of those on my 1stgen Cummins truck. I think to make them work on a 4x4 you'd have to run a spacer I had to on my Dodge cause the hit the Tie rod ends, Keep in mid these wheels have a lot of back space and would be tucked severley with out spacers. I'm not sure how they'd work on a 2wd though

And FWIW, there are a few different versions of these as well, Some of the satin and painted ones are just cast whereas the Polished ones are all Forged

I might have to do an experiment for grins and giggles.

They look good on Dodges

I need to grin and giggle! Thanks for replying to my request. There is actually a set of those on the Minneapolis Craigslist right now for $400 with tires. REALLY tempted!

pulltilbroke · 03-26-2011, 03:32 AM

Thats a fair price for a set of polished ones but they can be found cheaper. What kind of tires are on em?

Here's the link:

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/an...276588811.html

The tires are good enough for summer driving, and I wouldn't pay full asking price....usually around here these wheels pop up in the $600 range.

pulltilbroke · 03-26-2011, 10:27 AM

If I needed a set and was in the area and had the cash I'd probly jump on em if I were you. Another nice thing about these wheels is that there easy to sell. I actually know a couple guys lookin for a set as we speak.

bosco200 · 03-26-2011, 11:01 AM

Here's mine

**MJN** · 03-26-2011, 11:17 AM

I'll get in on this one, running stock 16.5 x 8.25 steelies.

Bryan S · 03-27-2011, 11:59 PM

I'm in need of some help, I have a 72 C-20 and I just got a set of 2500/HD Duramax wheels. I don't have the center caps, and want to be able to run them. I have looked on ebay for lug nuts but I'. not sure which ones I will need.
Thanks for any help,

extd56 · 03-28-2011, 12:06 AM

You need to run the conversion lug nuts that they sell on Ebay to run the center caps. The late model trucks run metric studs.
