i only need one without the tire. if i cover the costs will you have the tire removed and ship? 48206 is my zip

**aerotruk63** · 04-17-2018, 09:09 PM

Take the 2 Pimp. Hard to find.

**bonestock72** · 04-17-2018, 10:17 PM

I will. I'll have to get the tire off to get the rim weighed. I've had them for 30+ years so they're not going anywhere. It might take a couple of days to get it done. If I can't get the tire off I have to make an appointment to have it removed. They're is only one tire machine within 30 miles of here. Ken

parts getting is my drug, sometimes i assume others can read minds me being in a RUSH to get a part i forget to say what i need in detail. "slow down winston" is what i need to tell myself!!!

**aotte1** · 04-18-2018, 12:15 PM

Pimpston,

FYI, you can make a 6 lug 17.5 wheel from two more common wheels.
Use the 8 lug 17.5 wheel for the band part, and a 6 lug 16.5 wheel for the center. The 6 lug 17.5 wheel uses the same center as used on the 6 lug 16.5 wheels. This knowledge is from another very knowledgeable member.

Believe the 6 lug 17.5 wheels are very rare from my searching for them also. I am putting a set on our 64’ K10 Truck.
From my searching the 8 lug 19.5 wheel is more common, yet still hard to find.

Les

**bonestock72** · 04-18-2018, 12:42 PM

Good to know but where on earth would you find a six lug 16.5 ? I've got three 19.5 eight lugs, kelsey hays, for a 4x panel I'm assembling and I can't find a fourth. Ken

**DA68** · 04-18-2018, 10:53 PM

Are you still looking for a 6 lug,17.5" wheel. I have five total and could let go of one. These are very rare and my price is $200.
