Indecisive Wheel Re-style, New Look

[Stewart G Griffin]

This isn't the truck that inspired me.  There is a pic on, i think the 67-72 that looks very close to mine with those wheels but i don't have time to search for it.

I've seen that video before. I didn't make me want them either. I want them because I think they fit well with my trucks appearance specifically.

If you want to keep your old rims and use the newer cap on them. I would use a mag style lug nut with an open end. So you can put the center cap on then use some stainless steel washers and bolts that thread into the lug nuts.

Here's a site that has some lugs that I'm talking about.

Not sure I understand what you are trying to say. You can't thread a bolt into the lug nut because the lug nut is threaded on to the wheel studs. Plus the newer caps thread over the outside of the lugnuts. Either 1 of us is not on the same page as the other or I just don't understand what your saying.

I didn't think the stud would go all the way out to the edge of lug nut. I figured there would be enough threads left on the open side to use a bolt and a washer to hold on the newer style cap. Then you wouldn't be using the original plastic lug nut caps.

It was just an idea.

Oh ok. Yea I wasn't sure what you were getting at with washers and bolts for newer style caps. It's all good tho.

Guys, I did a terrible thing today.....

400 dollars and these belong to me now.

I love em, decent price for nice ones.  I'd have to see the center caps on your truck but I approve 100%

[LTZ C20]

They are like brand new. I took some quality metal polish to them when I got them home, I could see myself clearly in the reflection of both a rim and a center cap.

I gave $450 I think for the ones on my extended cab and they have corrosion.  2 tires were in great shape and the other 2 needed replaced but still legal.

i wouldnt mind a set for the crew but not sure about how the dana 60's hubs will fit even if i cut them

[LTZ C20]

Zieg, I didn't even get tires, mine are still plenty good. No corrosion on these. Irish I think they should fit no problem.

[Irish_Alley]

my main concern is the hub caps, then on the same hand i love the classic dog bowls

[LTZ C20]

Yea, I would have opted for stock steels with dog dish but I'm not going all original. These fit the look of the truck much better.

While not the rims and only similar center caps I found this image on FB Irish
