Waiting to do hubcaps for now. I have N.O.S. I don't want to run till the truck is cherry. Thinking about making a pair of fronts from some #2s in stainless I have

I know these don't come in white. Did you powdercoat or paint?

vision wheels just came out with a bunch of new wheels. i would highly recommend checking them out as they have an affordable, yet attractive selection for our 8 lugs!

17×7 steels off an '03-'12 Dodge Ram. Not sure how I like them. Might order some beauty rings for a cheap fix until I can afford something shiny.

Are those adapters to allow 8 on 170mm wheels to be used in 8 on 6.5" bolt circle?

The powder coat guy said he would just scuff them and powdercoat, so I just scuffed them and painted. I figure all this white coat would be is a coating on top of powder coat, so why not paint? I still have the steel powder coated.

Still trying too hard in the styling department. Give those guys a chill pill and ask them to design a clean simple wheel with smooth rims. Something that doesn't look like it's made out of a bunch of pieces and riveted all together. So funny that Outlaws and Outlaw IIs (copied after Centerlines) were ever so popular till people started disliking the fake rivets. Now it's hard to find wheels that don't have fake rivets and the better companies that made the wheels tat got people away from Outlaw IIs are out of business (Centerline, Weld...). And those are the companies that took us to billet and drop forged quality wheels.

Mine are the same bolt pattern as the truck (8x6.5). I'm only using them to use the stock GMC center caps. Otherwise, the wheels fit with no problems.

As for those Vision wheels, I saw one style that had the right design, but I'm not into chrome or black wheels.

I’ve got some nice Outlaw IIs in 16.5” with beautiful 33x12.5x16.5 BFGs tires to sell if anyone's interested.

Nice, how did it work with the rear axle stubs? Have you used spacers?

NoStopN · 07-01-2017, 11:52 AM

Yep. One & a half inch spacers. If they have their own set of studs, I call them adapters, & these do. I just get nervous about using adapters. I want to change out to 9/16" studs, just for piece of mind.

What are the current options for STEEL OEM look in 17 inch?

JNDewes · 08-10-2018, 08:27 AM

I found wheels on Vintiques:
https://www.wheelvintiques.com/view-catalog

I know they have 16" 8 lug wheels and they may have 17" wheels.

Be aware that your hubcaps may not fit as tight - even with a powedercoat, I've lost hubcaps on potholes. You might consider applying some tape to the hubcap lugs to ensure a tight fit.

Wow - those sure look wide for 8"? If you didn't post them as 8" wide, I would've thought they were 10" wide. are they 4.25" of back space?

For my '72 C20 I went back to steel wheels with hubcaps. The wheels are 16"x7" that I got brand new off eBay (Dorman 939-198) for $67 each shipped. A friend powdercoated them white for me. Tires are LT245/75/R16.

White wheels and bumper rock.
Sensing a white roof cap to bring it all together. ��

Wagon spokes on her now that I covered with 16 inch Chevy motorhome caps I bought from Special-k. Lost one though to a big pothole. I bought 16x7 rims from roadready. 70 $ each shipped so next spring they go on

Those motorhome caps look good on there. I think we bought the same wheels too.
