skinny chevy truck ralleys?

1st off, I hope this is in the right section. I was wondering about skinny chevy truck ralleys. Ive never seen them but would be intrested in some. I think I have a local place to go ask about doing it, but has anyone on here done it already or better yet, sell them?

Van ralleys are skinnier than trucks and look the same as truck.

I have a pair of 4" 6 lug truck ralleys I might part with. They have new rubber on them.

Re: skinny chevy truck ralleys?

I know they made the 15" ralleys in 6.5" (van), 7, & 8 (trucks) widths. I have not heard of or seen any different widths than that from the factory. You can however get them from places like Stockton Wheel and Wheel Vintiques.

Re: skinny chevy truck ralleys?

I have narrowed and widened rims for myself and for friends. It's easier with more rims than is required. Requires big lathe with a swing more than the diameter of which you are turning .To make a set of narrows save two outer rings from two sets of rims cut off in the lathe. Weld the two rings together then weld in your center. Making them fatter, cut out the center from the inner and outer ring add a piece of flat stock between the outer and inner ring to the dimension desired then weld in your center. The lathe is the secret.

Both of these places will make whatever you like. A friend has a pair of 4" he bought from Wheel Vintiques. And they are very reasonable.
