YellowDog2 · 08-29-2008, 11:05 PM

I've got stock wheels on my 71 3/4 ton...I'm not sure what I'll do as far as wheels go, but I'd like to see pics of what other 8-luggers have...This isn't actually my 1st post, by the way. I've posted previously as YellowDog in case anyone may notice...thanks!

haysonj · 08-29-2008, 11:13 PM

Polished aluminum

MXmaniac · 08-30-2008, 02:20 AM

Here's my alloy wheels of an '07 GMC 2500HD. I got some conversion lug nuts on eBay.

YellowDog2 · 08-30-2008, 02:15 PM

Haysonj...what kind of wheels are those? I like 'em! And what about the tires, while I'm at it?

mtdave2 · 08-30-2008, 02:18 PM

YellowDog2 · 08-30-2008, 02:22 PM

the tires or michelin 235/85 r16 great tire, ride nice.

wheels? got me, the caps say modern.

rcrahn · 08-31-2008, 11:06 AM

No offense to the guys who have posted here but most of those are old school. Which is fine if that is what you like. However, there are many new 8 lug designs out there today. My son and I are working on a 1967 C20. It is bagged and now at the body shop for paint. We spent alot of time on the internet looking at what is out there. Ended up going with Incubus Nemesis 8. This is a cast wheel. It looks good and is reasonably priced at $235ea.

ride height

lowered

Aunt-Jemima · 08-31-2008, 09:27 PM

i have 05 gmc wheels on mine with 1" spacers sorry no pic but you can look it up

Mudder · 08-31-2008, 11:34 PM

Welds polished aluminum.

sierragrande71 · 09-01-2008, 10:52 AM

Here's some pics of another style of a weld wheel on my dad's '69 C-20.

jeffspower · 09-01-2008, 01:36 PM

Another old school guy here. Several companies made them. American Racing, Western Wheel (seem to be the most common), and some brands you can't ID (like mine) because they didn't mark them.

YellowDog2 · 09-01-2008, 02:39 PM

These wheels all look good...I definitely lean old school, too, though. I want to remain stock height, but wouldn't mind non-stock wheels . Just looking for good looking, IMO, wheel/tire combos that I may go to one day. Here's what I currently run with (I know the hubcaps aren't stock)...

jorgensensc · 09-01-2008, 03:22 PM

These are on the Burb I just got. Not sure what they are exactly. I know they were purchased from discount tire. They are MB I think, but the paperwork isn't very clear, and I can't find them on their website anywhere either. I like them though.

EXACTLY!!!I prefer the term "Classic" to "Old School",though.No offense taken but,nothing like a classic wheel on a classic truck.Alot of newer wheels look good on these trucks,but on a stock-looking truck,IMO,classic era-correct beats them all out.
Not to offend,but I think $1,000 for a set of cast aluminum wheels isn`t reasonable at all.Not when you can get other cast wheels for 1/2 that or some drop forged & billet for the same price.

Either way,I think everybody`s just showing whatever 8-lug designs they can to help this guy make his decicion based on as much of the "relm" as possible.Of course,no one`s going to shoe wheels they don`t like.

There are alot of choices,that`s for sure.
