Thanks everyone, I know that opinion differ and I truly appreciate the input. I understand that 16.5” are rare, these are said to be factory or dealer installed on this blazer. Does anyone know what numbers I should look for on these wheels to verify their authenticity as a GM factory wheel? I have boxes of parts and the glove box door is in a box some where, would it be on the door as an option?
The PO took the wheel covers off for another truck and isn’t willing to get off of them. He purchased the Blazer from the first owner 17 years ago, and tells me that it had the wheels and hubcaps on it then and that the guy he got it from assured him that they were on it when it came off the dealer’s lot.
They look cool to me. I have no use for them at this time, but they will not be going to scrap for sure, I’ll bust the tires off clean 'em up and place 'em in storage until a use of buyer appears.
