'07 take offs on my 1985, I am pleased...

I just put a set of '07 take offs, I like the look.

Looks good.  I am wanting to get some HD rims for my 1T Crew Cab

[78 Chevyrado]

Much Improved!

I have the same ones on my 78!

I went from this  (Those tires had a 5-1/2 inch wide tread)



To this:


3/4 tons and up never had any wheels worth a crap until the late 90's.  I'm glad the bolt pattern matches up and they fit, because I jst like wheels with the bowtie in the cap instead of some wheel brand.  Plus these wheels look pretty sporty.  I had the chance to get some of the aluminum wheels but I liked the steel ones better, I think they fit these trucks better. 

Also, something I came across on ebay...  The crome version of those wheels, aren't chromed.   They have a thin chromed "skin" that clips onto the wheel.  This is how my wheels are.  They are actually black painted with a skin on them.   I saw some of these skins on ebay for (i think) $30-40 for a set of four skins.  If you want chrome wheels, this would be a cheap way to get them and make use of the great deal you already got on your wheels.  There is a 6-lug version of these wheels so make sure you get the 8-lug version of the skins.  Looks great man!

Thanks for $100 I could not pass it up.  I got the conversion lugs at the Indy swap meet.  I changed them over with my tire machine and kept track of the wheel weights placement and it runs down the road great.

i love those wheels on the 73-87's, they look better than they do on the newer trucks i think...

where would i be able to locate the conversion lug nuts online,  i dont know what to search for?

[maximus5541]

on my truck would i need any type of adapter to fit the newer style chevy or dodge 8 lug rims? I believe the newer style trucks use the metric lug pattern but i could be wrong. Also what is the lug pattern of my truck?
 Thanks in advance

http://www.ezaccessory.com/GM_9_16_External_Thread_Lug_Nut_p/98-0009.htm  is one example if you want to use the factory caps that go with the new style rims.  I got mine at a swap meet for a whole lot cheaper.

Assuming your talking about your 87, the GM rims will fit right on your truck.

I have a 1/2 ton...are there any newer takeoff wheels that will fit on my truck?

The 95-97 look good on them

[Fordeatinz71]

to clarify, those wheels you just posted were available as far back as 1992 i believe...they just changed the center cap to not show the lugs in 1995...

I bought a set of 4 on my local craigslist for $125 for my 95 replacing the ugly steelies
