What are these wheels?

Guy on e-bay says these are "rare 16.5" wheels worth an extra $500.00 on the options list when the 1972 Blazer was new. I wonder if you guys ever see these out there. I would like to find some and wondered how hard they are going to be to come by.

They look a lot like the 16" wheels on my blazer, but wider. My has from what I understand, dealer installed 16" wheels with dog dish hubcaps. I'm sure you can find something comparable at a vendor like Stocktonwheel.com.

Those are real. I had a set on a parts blazer that showed on the glovebox. They are strange cause there are not dimples to hold hubcaps on them. I sold mine for $200.

I have those wheels on my '70 CST. They are very rare, and were an expensive option when the trucks were new.
