I scored these 16.5x9.75 wheels recently. Finally found a set with the outer nubs.

Just took them to get blasted and powdercoated. Gloss white. I should have them back next week.
I think I need them rather than the 8.25's that are currently on the truck. We'll see once I get them.
The backspacing is different on all three sets that I have. Backspace is only .25" greater than the 8.25's. That concerns me, because I don't want them to stick out too far.
