I love to rims I have been trying to find a set for my 68 chevy since i saw then on yours
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I put a set of these on my 70 GMC. Had to put a 1 1/4" spacer on the rear so the centers would fit my Dana 60 hubs. Makes the rear wheels as far apart as the front wheels now. Looks good.

Does anyone have a part number for those dually hub centers. I just picked up a set of 16 inch wheels with trims and centers and am looking for some centers to fit over my Dana 60 hub. Thank you

Looks good. I'll eventually do that to my 84 Sierra 2500. Staying with stock steel and caps on it

Thanks for the replies.
I will look into the Dually option first then go from there.

I've got those same exact rims. Polished up, I think they look great.

I bought a parts truck and they were on the truck with good tires... 300 bucks for the parts truck. I sold a bunch of parts off of it, got everything i needed and had it hauled off for free. I think i got a good deal.

I really like those wheels. Any idea of the brand? What size are they? If my slots don't work out I'm going to be looking for something like those instead.

Just got these yesterday and have the lug nuts on order so I can use the center caps. Anyone know if the caps are going to fit over the bub on the dana 60 rear end.

Not without using a spacer to bring out the wheel a litle bit.

gripnrip · 12-06-2014, 06:31 AM

BB, where did you get the lug nuts from?

RPBurris · 04-25-2010, 11:12 AM

I didn't think they were expensive. Only paid $250.00 for everything to bolt them onto my truck,brand new. They were takeoffs for a custom van/truck from Truck and RV Supply. Had to get new/different lug nuts, as the ones that came with them wouldn't work. I have a Dana 60 rearend, so I got some 1 1/4" spacers for the rears so the centers would work. Didn't know about duallie centers that are supposed to be deeper?
