Going back to steel rims
Due to the lack of 16.5 tires on the market, I'm probably gonna have to get new rims in order to put fresh shoes on my beast.
72 K2500 daily driver 8x6.5lug 4" lift, currently on BFG 35x12.5x16.5
Seriously thinking about going back to original style 16" steels with dog dish caps. I'm in a bit of a rush now (rear tires not got much tread left, so waiting around for good OEM steels isn't an option), so I'm looking at repro.
Truck Shop has 16"x8" steels for $129 each, and I've had good luck with Truck Shop stuff in the past (Counterpart and other). Mount BFG T/A KO2 315/75R16 on them, close enough to my current size tires to not have to worry about rubbing.
Any other ideas? Sources of good steels? Hidden stash of 35x12.5x16.5 rubber?
