Does anyone know where to find... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Been knocking myself out looking for wider O.E. Rims that will fit the O.E dog dish hub caps for my 71 GMC 1/2 ton four by four. They have the 6 hole pattern. I have found some 15x6.5 but really want to go wider, say 8 or 9". I've checked with wheelvintiques - they make no 6 hole rims. Same bad luck with all the other places I've checked. Does anyone have any suggestions where I could get my hands on these?

They are out there. I recently sold these. I assume these are what you are looking for? 15X8. Not very cheap either when you find them.

Those 6 lug 8" wheels are kind of hard to find, but they are out there. But just try finding the same wheel in a 5 lug, I've got two good ones and have been looking for two more for almost two years!

Strange! I recently bought two WheelVintiques (# 12-5806040) 15x8 six lug primed steelies from Summit. Wheels work well, but primer has to be well scuffed (sanded) before painting.

Granted they don't have the nubs for the dog-dish caps, but I'll bet the nubs could be added using some button head screws and SAE washer properly space on the wheel

get the rim you want and weld in your centers.
