Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Here's more 16.5" steelie love. The original KH 16.5" x 8.25" wheels on my 1970 Blazer. The tires are bias ply STA Traxion 10.00-16.5. Sad to see most of them have been replaced by 15" x 8" Rally rims.
Interesting little footnote. These were special order wheels, and one of the most expensive options in this period-even more than factory C60 Air Conditioning. in 1971 A/C was $421. These wheels were $479! In current dollars this would be $3684!!!
