Re: Junkyard find? 6-lug 16.5 wheels

i agree. they are scrap metal.

a couple of years ago i purchased a '69 3/4 ton GMC that had the 16.5 rims. none of the tire places (NTB, Discount, Sam's, etc) had any in stock, and would be about 3 weeks before I could get any. Not only that, they were freaking expensive too, $200 a tire. I finally tried a 18-wheeler shop, just to see, and they had a pair that matched. I paid $165 a piece for them, but in order to have the truck inspected, it needed new tires.
