get a gallon of this http://www.autodetailsupplyoutlet.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16148

spray it on and you will be amazed. Then paint inside the spokes again and you will have nicer wheels than you can ever buy

Gotta get some new rear tires first,they won't even hold air.The guy I got them from said they haven't been on the road in allmost 20yrs. so they have a lot of dry rot.

Those will look great on your truck. Nice score. I wish someone would start making some of the old school rims for our trucks again.

Not that I've seen. Every modern wheel seems to have that crack daddy bling look.

these are nice, seem to be real popular. who was the manufacturer/what was the style name/what years were they produced? with some good background info. it would be easier to search on Craig's list & e bay etc. these remind me of the old dukes of hazard wheels on the general lee.

These are made by "Western".  I have heard them called turbines , not sure exactly what years they were availible but pretty sure 70's & 80's.
I will try to get a good pic. of the inside of one of the rims to show the name.
