any good looking 6 lug wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cochino12 · 06-30-2011, 10:10 PM

I'm looking for some 16-18" wheels for my new k5, not having much luck finding something simple/classic not too flashy. I really like the MT classic wheels but id like to find something different and all of the new style wheels have small hub opening or are black which I hate. Any suggestions? Pictures would be great

Well I just re-read your post and saw that you hate black so 50% of my wheel selections went out the window. I will post what I find, I am in the market for wheels on my truck(2wd though) so i have seen alot in the last couple days.

I went thru the same wheel choice issue....finally had some 15x8's custom made and went with hubcaps....been very happy being different.

Looks awesome! Is that a 4" lift?

That Blazer looks tough. It's hard to beat stock sometimes. Rallyes and 35's always look good to me, too.

cochino12 · 06-30-2011, 10:49 PM

So far rallyes have my vote but id really like a 10" width and there is no way I'm paying wheel vintiques (sp) that much for a 15" wheel

I like the ones LMC sells with the holes all the way around...Not too flashy but not simple enough to be plain, and still a classic look. That's what I have on mine. I'm sure other places sell them, but I'm just suggesting the style.

I definitely like the rallys and that style hubcap/centercap.

I used a company in Denver Colorado that makes wheels in any backspace you want. They take factory wheels, remove the center and place on new hoops, then powdercoat in whatever color you want. I didnt suppy the factory hubcap wheels, they did and the whole thing shipped was right at $600 (15x8 3.75"BS 33x13.50 Toyo M/T). However since your in CO, you might could pick them up local.

Problem is my silver one only has 67,000 miles so I guess I'll keep it

USSkoval · 07-03-2011, 01:26 PM

I vote for widened steelies like above, or just stock rallies like below. A fat tire will fit on them just fine.
