Re: Junkyard find? 6-lug 16.5 wheels

SpecialK, I wasn't really trying to say they are dead, but the chain tire stores will have you beleive they are, just try to buy a new tire in a pinch! I watched a guy toss 3 perfectly good 16.5, and 4 good wheels from his trailer because he had a blow-out and no one in town had a 16.5 in stock (Flagstaff is no hustling bustling metropolis, but it ain't a po dunk one horse town either, if you have them get a spare and one extra just in case you need em and can't wait for the big brown truck to drop em at your door or the local tire store, as everyone I talked to said they were special order only, not stocked?!)so I basically said what the tire stores are trying to get us to beleive?! I also said I'd buy them in a heart beat!! I am looking for a set of the vortec?? (think general lee!)16.5's so I can buy a set of those military 37's and use them!! My Dodge is an 8-lug, and most 16.5's are 8-lug, I think my 07 would look too cool rolling on ole' school mags, with 37's!!
