Re: Suggestions for classic style wheels?

I had a set of Alcoa’s on my C2500 Sierra Grande 20 years ago. When I sold it I put them on my Duramax truck where I ran them for a few years. They then wound up on a truck at the farm for the last 10 and just last month I polished them again and put them on an ‘83 crew cab truck I bought.

The Alcoa is still my favorite 8 lug wheel but is limited to just a 16x7. And they are expensive. But they are forged and beautiful when freshly polished. That combined with a 265 75 16 is an excellent choice for a stock height 67-72 8 lug truck. And if you want a tall skinny tire on a lifted truck would look sweet as well. I think BFG offers a 35 10.5 16?

Edit: It was not BFG who made that tire. Don’t remember who now.
