What kind of wheel choices for 6 lug!!
Hey hey I keep hearing from a lot of people ''oh switch to 5 lug, you'll be able to find more wheel choices''. I really dont want to do some crazy high priced wheel/rim setup. Do they still offer a lot of newer rims for 6 lug. I have a '68 C-10 and will be swapping to front dics very soon. I still cant decide if I really need to go to the 5. I'm happy with 6 lug and I plan to go with maybe some baby moons or some older rally wheels. Thanks again, I appreciate all the help Iv'e been getting on here lately.

I'm running 6 lug Corvette ralleys on mine and think they are a unique look.

Re: What kind of wheel choices for 6 lug!!
These are Summit Racing brand six lug. 17"x8" I did have to machine the centers slightly to get them to clear the hub centers. I think they were around 149.99 a wheel. I am pretty happy with them other than I had to machine them.

Re: What kind of wheel choices for 6 lug!!
I worked for a tires store all through the 80's (I was very young). If we could get a guy for $100 a wheel and $100 a tire, that was a big sale. Now $500-$600 a corner seems to be about the going rate (or more). Man have times changed.

Re: What kind of wheel choices for 6 lug!!
For the price, I figured I would give them a try. I am really happy so far. Here is the link, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-141-7883GM0/
Like I said they needed to be machined slightly to make them clear, otherwise no problems.

Re: What kind of wheel choices for 6 lug!!
I really like the rally wheels I just put on the Blazer. They have a nice look to them, and you can add some effect if you want by painting the rims to match the body.
