I like the wheels but love the GMC and the original patina...

@72cheyenne454, what did your jig look like? I am currently struggling to find any 16 or 17” inch wheels that have the required nubs for a dog dish cap. I am leaning towards getting the exact same 17’s you purchased due to tire choices for 17’s versus 16’s. I need to determine how to ensure the caps are centered and I think your jig might be the trick. Thanks.

I kept searching because in my mind, surely to goodness somebody makes these wheels, a 16 or 17" steel wheel with the nubs to accept a 10 1/8" dog dish cap. I did find one place, and will placing an order with them. I was given a quote of $1,504 shipped, which equates to $376/wheel and includes white powder coat.
