I'm building my 1983 Chevy c10 stepside Ive owned since i was 14 I'm gonna put a 3/5 drop coils/flipkit and a fuel cell in the rear and put a 350 in instead of the straight 6 it had with a 4 speed tranny I'm wanting to keep it stock looking with all the emblems and mirrors and handles etc... so i I'm gonna run 15x8 in the front and 15x10 in the back does any one one have an idea of what style wheel to use in the 15 inch diameter any pics would be awsome thanks

If you want it stock looking that would mean putting stock rally's on it... Or the aluminum optional wheels.

Capt's right, Custom Widened 15X10" Looks good on a Stepside for a Factory Appearence
Here's Febuary's Truck

Just one of many Great Looking Steps on the Forum....
I've always wanted to do some Custom Steel or Aluminum Rallye Wheels Staggered and Tucking Big Inch Rims like the truck in your sig...
-
no see i want the truck to look stock thats y im not shavening any emblems on it or handles or locks or the vent windows etc.... and im awhare i could put on my stock steel ralley wheels i want other ideas i could use that wont look dumb with the out side being stock like camaro ralleys or something thanks
-
there are only a few choices on stock: The ones got2haul has, factory rallys an the factory aluminum ones.
Maybe I am misunderstanding your question.

Sounds like he is wanting more of a Car look with his rims, instead of the Truck Steels or Aluminum rims....... Here try these 10 pages then 83Step, they are all 5X5" Bolt Patterns, can be ordered in the proper Backspacing, and there are sizes from 15"-20" all made to look like Factory Rims....

something like this i think would look cool may be the wheel it self painted the blue im gonna paint the truck or black and then put the chrome rings and centers in what you guys think
-
Sounds like we have similar plans.
I'm planning to drop the truck either 3"/5" or 4"/6" and keep my 15" rally wheels, but paint them red and add some spider caps. Then run some OE size wide white walls on the drop.
-
would you paint these wheels body color or black
-
Well I'm going to be keeping my truck flat black/primer for a few wheels. So I'm probably going to paint the wheels red to go for that hot rod look.
-
im painting my truck cobolt blue and putting those wheels on or some thing close to it would you if it was what you were doing paintyour wheels to match the blue paint them black leave them the color they are or get all chrome wheels like the ones posted? ???
-
If it were me, and I was painting the truck blue, I'd leave the wheels as is with that gray finish.
Me personally, the rally's I've got (painted red) is just going to hold me over until I can save up enough cash to paint the truck and then I'll get some 20" to go in there place.
-
that would look cool these are the wheel im gonna buy and keep i think they would look awsome on my truck
-
if you look in the 73-87 chevy catorgory youll see some pics of my truck before i took it apart
-
i might be changing my mind on wheels i was wondering with these wheels at 15x10 for the rear at 5 inch back spaceing would they work on my 1983 chevy stepside 2wd with stock frame and suspension setup besides a 5 inch drop? and if they will fit what size tire should i run with out rubbing and with out having to modify the fender wells at all? se my plan is to put 15x10 on the rear and 15x8 on the front thanks for any and all input 8)

^^^ Those look real good, plus they're not on every truck out there.

I would like to find the wheels that you have on your grey truck, but in the five lug pattern.
