Thanks for all the replies. That does look good TwoTone72s. I am pretty sure that's what I'm going to go with now that I've seen them on the truck

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?

Dan, Would you happen to remember what lug nuts you used to be able to keep the center caps? I'm giving my 69 GMC Custom Camper the exact same treatment. Thanks in advance!

Those look exactly like my M/T I’m putting on my Golden . I like them in black . I was even toying with painting them black . Very labor intensive polishing them .

I thought they were too black and I added bronze to the centre caps and a gold pin strip. I like this better.

My 1970 C20 with newer Chevy 8-lug wheels that were on it when I bought the truck. I like them so they will stay.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?

I just bought some new stock steel wheels from a late model 2500 van. Also bought new center caps and lug nuts. The old wheels were split rims and totally sucked. Most tire shops didn't want to work on them.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?

I'm having a tough time picking my new wheels. I know I'm going to use the Detroit Steel Smoothie wheel. I know I'm going with a 20"- just having a hard time picking the back spacing. So I made a wood wheel! 20 x 11 with 6" back spacing. It leaves 1.5" on the back side and 3/4" on the front but, the sides are going to stick out. I'm thinking about going with a 20 x 10 with 6" back spacing to pull the wheel "in" a little more....
