Pic of 73-87 with Hummer H2 wheels?

I'm looking at a set of factory Hummer H2 wheels, and I wonder if anyone has a pic of a 3/4 or 1 ton with those on it.

Yeah, I know it's oddball, but I'm sure it's been done. It's a direct 8 lug bolt-on. I'm not doing it for show or to be cool; it's really the cheapest way possible to put new wheels/tires on the truck. I have 16.5 in wheels now (I have another thread on this page about that) and it's hard to find 16.5 in tires. I can get the wheels for $180 for a set of 4, and LT265/70/17 tires for $104 each in Pirelli STRs. That's less than $600 total, about as cheap as I'm going to get some wheels and tires!

Never seen one with these wheels but bet they would look sweet.

On ebay, there's some Hummer H2 wheels with Chevrolet HD2500 center caps modified to fit (I don't know how much modification they need to fit). They go cheap, and I found that 265/70/17, you can get a Pirelli Scorpion STR LT-rated truck tire for $104 each at Discount Tire. The wheels I'm looking at are local for $180 a set.

Would the factory Hummer caps fit a 2WD front and rear? I like the look, by the way!

Yes, I've seen them on a sub too. The only difference was that the owner had the center machined. The center was machined to fit the dog dish cap. The black and gold cap with the Chevy Bowtie. Add some large tires and they look awsome. The conversion is really neat.
