Does anyone know these wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Went to the junkyard today and came across these wheels I love on a '76 Buick LeSabre from my quick google search they will fit my '84 c10 my question is if anyone knows the brand and what size tire should I buy.
Also what is the best way to remove all four without the car being on the ground.

'84 c10 swb

Donor parts:

'76 Buick LeSabre

As always many thanks in advance for your time and advise! It is greatly appreciated!

The tires are in decent condition can these be used on the truck just around town driving no highway.

If you have a battery impact wrench, that would be the best way to get the wheels. If not, take a ratchet strap in with you, and strap a driveshaft to the tire to keep it from rotating while you remove the lugs.

Don't use those tires. They've probably been in the sun and elements for 20 years, and are not safe anymore. Get a new set of tires mounted on the rims before you install them on your truck.

If I’m seeing them right, those look like the wheels you’d find behind wire spoke hubcaps.

You are correct on those wheels,I think they were made by Superior Wheels,the wire baskets are missing though.

Double check the center hub hole diameter. It's not very often that wheels made for a car will fit a truck. I hope they work for you... they are cool looking.

I have some wheels that look like that on a Caddy. They have special shouldered lug nuts and are kinda difficult to take on and off. Maybe these are different.

I installed many of those new and did flat repairs and tire change outs on many more when I was a kid. They were garbage. The wheel by itself is fine.

That's actually a pretty slick idea to run those as chrome smoothies. You can probably get a badge or medallion to go over this hole in the center cap.
