Black rims for a 1971 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey any of you guys know a place that sells black rims for my 1971 4x4 shortbed. I can't find any with a big enough whole for the hub. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Why not try and find some of the spoked wheels that GM installed in the mid-70's? They have six holes and will fit your hub. I have a pair on my '69 and would like to find another pair. They also use bolt-on center caps and trim rings. Seems like they're 8 inches wide, too.

Check out this pic. It's the same wheel I have a pair of, but this one is white as they were when new.

You could have them soda-blasted, then powder-coated and they'd look great. Add the centers and trim rings for a clean look.

I am defiantly going to look for some of those. They would look great black.

I also found these $39 a piece. Might look ok

That search should only turn up 5-lug wheels since C/10s have had 5-lugs since`71.How about K/10?

i'd go for those... probably cheaper than powdercoating white ones

I put black wheels from discounttire.com on my 72 swb 4X4. They look great and they were only about $50 each. No problem with the hole being big enough.
