Here are a couple sets I got together this summer.I haven't figured out how to size on image Shack yet,so only managed these links...

1st,my '85 Jimmy in pure stock form (minus hub caps I now have on it):

Here are the 8 x 15s I'll use once I can afford rubber:

Here are the 8.25 x 16.5s for my '72 K2500 once I get the lift done:

Those look good Tim. Powder coat or Krylon?
That Jimmy looks like the 85 Blazer I had. Doeskin Tan all over, rubber floor mats, rally wheels. Yeah, I miss that one. ;)

special-K 10-26-2010 03:43 PM

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 
These are powder coated.I'm really gathering a collection.Time to mount some tires!That's the Jimmy I was talking about buying before my computer went kaput!It's pretty basic,except I think the diesel package includes carpet/sound deadening package.It didn't even come with rallyes.It does have a/c,od,am/fm mono,and power windows/manual locks.Also automatic hubs I'll probably change when the bigger tires go on.I'm thinking 2" lift,12.50/33s,Auburn gear posi,and soft top in tan.

Just put the rally's on today. I'm debating the centers and rings, at least until I get the bowties for the centers, but I kinda like the wheels plain jane too. Here's a pic with the caps as well.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 
I'm looking for a change in wheel choice for my 70'.

I really like the looks of the steel rallies that came on my 77' Silverado, but want to stay with the 6-lug wheels on my 70'LWB. I've heard/read that I can use the rally wheels from a 3/4" 4x4 from that same era. Is this true and will I need some sort of spacers to keep the fronts from rubbing at full turn of the steering wheel? If I remember correctly, those rallies from that era were 8"x15". Any help would be appreciated.

I'm sure enjoying this thread. I've seen some really great looking wheel choices.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 
dkb1970--

if yours is a 1/2 ton 6 lug it'll be the same wheels in the post right before yours. i had a 70 LWB with 15 x 8 inch 6 lug rallies with 32x11.50's with no rubbing issues on stock suspension.

if yours is a 3/4 ton 8 lug i'm not sure which ones you would use.

dkb1970 11-08-2010 11:29 PM

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 
Thanks Cris. It's a 1/2 ton with 6 lugs. Sounds like I've got some wheel hunting to do.

cris well 11-08-2010 11:35 PM

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 
you're welcome. i'd try craigslist.

you can find them on ebay too but the shipping is usually about $25 per wheel--ouch!
