Okay, then my eyes are playing tricks on me. I could just about swear that your rims have the arms sloped slightly clockwise. Time for new glasses I guess.

I'll have to look up the specs on my rims, since I'm too lazy right now to go out and pull a hub and measure. Been working out in the heat all day and this is the first A/C I've been in since this morning.

Here's what I come up with:

16X6K Dual
PCD: 8-6.5
Offset: 5.5
CB: 4.75' and 4.88'
Max Load: 3500 LPS

bernie, i am still lookin for your wheel. seems like noone around here wants to get rid of their. everyone is buying them and mounting them on top of their worktrucks. you know us redneck boys are.

Yeah, that's pretty much the story I get around here. Because GMC made changes the year after, those old ones are getting pretty rare now.

No luck on your rim either, but I have to confess I've not looked that hard. Only went to two places near me and neither had one.

i found some 6 lug chevys, 6 lug gmcs, 8 lug dodges and some 10 lug 24.5s. none of those, i believe is going to work for your application. think i even seen some dayton wheels out there. cursed things.

I've actually been looking at some nice mags for it. Found a few sets in the $600 range for 4 of 'em. Of course, the Alcoa's I really want are $300 each...

bradrhale · 09-02-2009, 03:53 PM

that is what we are paying for our alcoas on the rigs. but we run steel on the inside to keep from getting the longer lugs to accomodate the thicker rims. huge differance in the steel and aluminum wheel.

I kinda like these, and the price is good...
American Eagle Series 034

Same with these...
American Eagle Series 058

These in black would also work nice...
American Eagle Series 097

But these would be my #1 choice...
16 Alcoa Classic 8

Now... what were those winning lottery numbers for this coming Saturday?
