MD WTB:1) 8.25" x 16.5" Steel Wheel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 03-26-2010, 04:32 PM

I need one nice usable OEM-type steel wheels also known as Kelsey-Hayes.The wide option on 20 & 30 series trucks.Does anyone have an odd one to sell?I`ll take more,as some I have could be better.I know they`re heavy to ship.It`s a long way to drive,too.

LMK if any are available...thanks

Curbstone Mech · 03-26-2010, 04:53 PM

stllookn · 03-27-2010, 02:14 AM

With or without the hubcap clips?

**special-K** · 03-29-2010, 10:10 AM

I`m looking for the outer nub style.Thanks

**special-K** · 04-03-2010, 09:59 PM

Thanks Curbstone.You should have gotten it for me for Christmas.cool:

**wancosc356** · 04-03-2010, 11:38 PM

Is this what you are looking for? Not sure on the size, but I can find out for you.

**special-K** · 04-04-2010, 06:22 AM

That looks like a stock 7",but thanks anyway.These are the deeper dish wide rims for the flotation tire option or aftermarket.I just added a picture to the first post.

**special-K** · 04-04-2010, 10:51 AM

I could use more than one,but one will get me started on my plan.

nds1968 · 04-04-2010, 11:18 AM

Do they have to be 8 lug?

KrazyRay · 04-04-2010, 01:06 PM

I have a wheel that might work. If its the one, just cover shipping and its yours.

Thanks,but that`s a stock 7" wheel.Notice in the picture I show how the center hits the rim.That raised part of the rim is outside where the center is attached and on stock wheels the center is attached to that raised part.8.25 x 16.5 should be stamped in the outer rim.

nds1968 · 04-04-2010, 10:31 PM

OK there was some 5 lugs on Ebay.

**special-K** · 04-05-2010, 09:54 AM

I`d almost go for those for old time sake.I had those on my first`72 C/10...8.25 front and 9.75 rear.It looked like a 3/4t

Curbstone Mech · 04-05-2010, 09:57 AM

I can go to check out the ones I saw at Crazy Ray's one day this week.
I'll get some pics

**special-K** · 04-06-2010, 08:14 AM

I`d really appreciate that my friend.My travels have not been in that direction lately.Hopefully they`re still there.

**special-K** · 04-07-2010, 10:36 PM

Still lookin`

**special-K** · 04-08-2010, 11:02 AM

Me want wheel.

Big-Blue · 04-08-2010, 11:28 AM

Have you looked at Wheel Vintiques? Might be a little pricey with shipping I guess... Seems like I saw an 8" new product on their website.

Curbstone Mech · 04-08-2010, 12:10 PM

I just came back from Crazy Ray's. Sorry to say that truck has gone to the crusher.

**71blksuper4x4** · 04-08-2010, 12:27 PM

Tim, I might have one, but I will have to check. I know I have a complete set that came off of my first black truck that I am saving for a future crew cab build. I might have a 5 or 6th wheel. If I have a spare, I will let you know. If not, there are always some floating into the town yard around here. I will do some looking for ya. Trevor

Thanks.I don`t think they do 8-lug and this has to be 16.5".It`s been a dream of mine to order a set of 16" from Stockton or other custom wheel maker.I`d gladly pay the cost if I had it to spend.

See what you have and LMK.My 4th wheel has a questionable spot on the bead.It rusted thin and I`m thinking to build it back with weld and grind it back.Another wheel would be better and have the other for a spare.I started with one that was the only survivor (spare) on my K/20 Cheyenne Super I had.Bought two at a swap meet (one is the questionable one) and one from Sakontr.I want to get going on blasting/powdercoating to mount 12.50/37s SSRs on my white`72

Big-Blue · 04-10-2010, 01:23 PM

Wheel Vintique does make a 16" 8 lug. I think they just came out with it this winter. I don't believe they have a 16.5" though.

http://www.wheelvintiques.com/?p=303

**special-K** · 04-13-2010, 07:58 AM

Still need an 8.25 x 16.5 to complete a set.I already have a set of tires for these.I decided not to try mounting them on the 9.75s since they`re a size bigger than what the truck is designed for.Fit will be marginal with the lift I have,need the narrower wheel for best chance of clearing.
Some day I will buy 16s.I have two sets of 16" tires.I wonder what Wheel Vintiques will ask for these?Hopefully not price them against the custom wheel price that have always been an option.What I really want in a 16 is a secret.I may just get to be the first if I ever get the money.Never works for a poor boy.I get the ideas and the money boys get to it first.whah whah whah
