Looking at all these pictures just drives home why I like normal sized steel wheels so much.THESE ARE THE BEST LOOKING TRUCKS ON THE ROAD! Modern vehicles with their cookie-cutter looks need something to make them stand out.There was a time when just a wider wheel did that for these trucks.It's all they need.Puttin' hoops on these trucks is alright,but just not necessary.Like a pretty woman with too much make up.She looks better with less.It's about the truck,not the wheels.i just happen to like steel wheels best...always in style.Not to take away from the classic alloy customs from the era that look so great as well.It's either subdued and classy (steel) or hot and nasty (mags)

Amen, brother. It really is a testament to how well our trucks were desigend that they can look good with anything from some classic steelies on up to 20" chromeys w/ rubberbands wrapped around them.

1stimer · 11-12-2010, 09:41 PM

OK guys. I made the PO of my truck throw in some steel wheels when I bought my truck from him.

They are 16x7.5 wheels. They are 8-lug, but I'm not sure if they will fit.

IF these are wheels that fit the truck, how do I know if I can use hubcaps on these wheels, and what size tires are recommended for a close to stock look for a 7.5 inch wheel?

packrat42 · 11-13-2010, 10:09 AM

15x6 steelie with 235/75 15.

suicidoors · 11-25-2010, 01:23 AM

here is a couple more sets of steel wheels

cris well · 11-25-2010, 10:51 AM

i've been admiring this one. hope he doesn't mind me using his pic.

Fesser · 11-25-2010, 11:02 AM

Genuine Cadillac rims, soon to be replaced by stockers that I just got from Krazy Ray. Try not too be too jealous about the awesome paint and body work. BTW this is its good side.

71Tymbomb · 11-25-2010, 12:42 PM

Steelies for now! 4" drop in front 6" out back. Brothers performance package with sway bars. Handles like a stock car.

magwakeenercew2jh · 11-25-2010, 01:58 PM

Not really "on 'em" right now. Somewhere between six weeks and six years away.

I'll start

Hoping to strip and repaint the hub caps and rims, then toss on some new meats too. What is a good size for tires?

your truck looks just like my truck well when i first seen it
