The blue one is my 4 bump rim, they came on early 70's-early 90's chevy 4x4's, blazers, etc...and will clear disk brakes. The black one below is a standard 3 bump drum brake rim. Used for many years and many gm truck/van applications. Both are 15" and the 3 bumps should be fairly easy to find. Try Perro or some of the other CA parts guys (you can do a forum member search or use the classifieds here for 60-66).

The bumps(nubs) that you see around the center section hold the cabs on. Check out the hubcap thread I pulled back up also, lots of good info there.

I've got a set of the 4 bump rims that won't clear the calipers of my disc brakes. Need to run a 1/4" spacer.

Out of curiousity what's the widest tire that guys run on the 15x8 rims?
