BADSAM · 08-02-2007, 09:07 PM

I've got a 3/4 ton and been looking for some nice wheels. Anybody have pics of theirs they are willing to share with some brand and size info?

cdowns · 08-02-2007, 09:46 PM

i guess these aint cool cause i cant give them away

size for those that asked is 16X10 i only have the pair and i dont ship

BADSAM · 08-02-2007, 10:14 PM

That's what I got!!!!!!!

72armyswbtruck · 08-03-2007, 12:13 AM

Come on now, those are the coooooolyts

OhioDan · 08-03-2007, 02:54 AM

Here's what I'm putting on mine.

GMCBubba · 08-03-2007, 07:00 AM

check out using hummer H2 wheels. i think they look great, but also rugged enough in their satin finish for a 3/4 ton

Mudder · 08-03-2007, 07:28 AM

Here's mine on my 4x4. I think they all look better if you can get the center caps that cover all the lugs.

72freak · 08-03-2007, 07:34 AM

There are very few "cool" 8 lug wheels.........especially on a budget.

Here are 2 styles I am currently running

Musclerodz · 08-03-2007, 11:55 AM

I have several budget minded choices for 8 lug wheels. I only have Raceline on my website but you can go to www.alliedwheel.com and see steel and aluminum 8 lug choices.

Mine are kind of old school but thought some of the new ones didn't fit the era of the trucks.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-03-2007, 01:13 PM

Here are mine.. WES

BADSAM · 08-03-2007, 01:32 PM

These are fantastic. Now I just need to be able to find some on a budget.

Anyone else have pics?

What size and what is the buget?

Mike

Mt Man Chad · 08-03-2007, 02:41 PM

Heres the ones I had on my 69 GMC

BADSAM · 08-03-2007, 03:15 PM

Musclerodz, I've only raised few hundred so far selling parts. So it depends on how much more I can raise and hoping nothing else comes up that needs that cash. As far as size, anything from 15"s to 18"s.

TotalChevy1 · 08-03-2007, 03:17 PM

I picked these up at Centerline, 17x8

I bought the Eagles 20 x 10's for $400 delivered to my door.
I have about $300 tied up in the Hummer wheel set-up

BADSAM · 08-03-2007, 03:49 PM

72Freak, where did you get the Eagles so cheap? I could prob do that, and then raise more for the tires. Can I ask how much the tires set you back?

I've been considering the H2's as well.

Actually, I like all of them. The hurricances and slots are classics, very nice. The welds' and centerlines are cool, very nice as well.

So many choices and not enough money.

I bought the Eagles on Ebay.They were used. 1 month old and the guy swapped them for something else. They came in the original boxes and looked new. The picture was from the guy I bought them from. I have not put mine on the truck. I will be going with load range E tires so they will be expensive. I have seen a couple of used sets of tires for $600

bb1979 · 08-03-2007, 07:06 PM

CD Downs - are those 16x8 inch rims you can't give away?? If you really want to give them away and have four of them i'll pay the postage to Australia lol

bad6772 · 08-03-2007, 07:58 PM

Stupid Question???? will the late model 6 lug wheels work also? dont get me wrong i like my stock wheels painted red, and trim rings. but i think its time for a change. would stock Z-71 rims or Tahoe rims work. just wondering . there really isnt a lot of options for the 15 inch rims anymore. none that i have found anyway. any help would be appriciated........tony

DieselEater · 08-03-2007, 10:55 PM

If you don't find anything cheap enough...I'd sell you the slots off of Frankenstein. I'm gonna put black steel rims on him. The slots are 16.5 X 9.75.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 08-04-2007, 12:12 AM

cdowns, if it wasn't for the shipping charge I'd gladly take those! Are they 16.5x9.75? I have stock 16x6.5" steel rims up front and wide 16.5x9.75"(roughly 12" from side to side) in the back. First pic is of two that are now on my Suburban. Got 'em off ebay for $75 shipped. The UPS guy asked me "what the hell is in this box?!?!"

Both of 'em sitting in a cardboard box weighed in at 78lbs.
