Did the rims a couple of months ago. Before and after

Ford used a style of aluminum rim on the E250 vans that looked like Alcoas. https://www.hubcaphaven.com/c/2460/f...eels_rims.html

I have used the 8 bolt alcoas on my longhorn. Purchased these wheels back in about 2001, and I like the look that it gives my pickup

Thanks for all the replies. That does look good TwoTone72s. I am pretty sure that's what I'm going to go with now that I've seen them on the truck

Dan, Would you happen to remember what lug nuts you used to be able to keep the center caps? I'm giving my 69 GMC Custom Camper the exact same treatment. Thanks in advance!

Those look exactly like my M/T I’m putting on my Golden . I like them in black . I was even toying with painting them black . Very labor intensive polishing them .

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I thought they were too black and I added bronze to the centre caps and a gold pin strip. I like this better.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Looks really good . I have to decide which way to go . Trying to do this truck low budget .

Which post (or wheels) are you referring to?

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Slots are still my all time favorites, but now going with H2 wheels on my truck build.

My 1970 C20 with newer Chevy 8-lug wheels that were on it when I bought the truck. I like them so they will stay.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I just bought some new stock steel wheels from a late model 2500 van. Also bought new center caps and lug nuts. The old wheels were split rims and totally sucked. Most tire shops didn't want to work on them.

I love the white wagon wheels

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Looks good. I'll eventually do that to my 84 Sierra 2500. Staying with stock steel and caps on it

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I got 16" steelies that are original and my hubcaps fit perfect

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Here are mine, both sets came on trucks when I purchased. Would like to change c20 if i could find the nice correct chrome hubcaps.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Wheel Vintiques, painted them dark blue when I painted the truck.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I like them a lot, great idea! :metal:

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I'm having a tough time picking my new wheels. I know I'm going to use the Detroit Steel Smoothie wheel. I know I'm going with a 20"- just having a hard time picking the back spacing. So I made a wood wheel! 20 x 11 with 6" back spacing. It leaves 1.5" on the back side and 3/4" on the front but, the sides are going to stick out. I'm thinking about going with a 20 x 10 with 6" back spacing to pull the wheel "in" a little more....
