Got wheels? Looking for some ideas

[Skunksmash]

Im currently looking for some wheel ideas for my truck. If you have some wheels on your truck that you take pride in, please post me a pic, or a link to a pic of the wheels. I am trying to see what all looks good on the 73-87.

8-Lugs?

[Skunksmash]

5 lug is what i have on my truck, so yeah i guess 5 lug. But those are sweet 8 lugs you got there. Was that a hard conversion?

I got a set of progressives from a neighbor who didn't want them anymore for $75. I've seen other 73-87 trucks with these wheels too, and I think they look good. They were universal.

[Skunksmash]

Those are cool. What do you call them? Is that the company that makes them?


Oh by the way how do yall like my new avatar?

[Unofficial]

Yes, the company is Progressive. I've never figured out what model of wheels I have, but I've heard that the company went out of business.

Nah, they go right on, I just needed different lug nuts than the ones that came with them.

So you only had to change out the rotor to go to 8 lug? I am a little confused

His truck was already an 8 lug since it was a 3/4 ton. He had to use different lugnuts in order to use the center caps that came with the rims he has. They are the factory wheels from a late model chevy

Exactly.  wheels are off of an '01 silverado 2500HD.  One of my grandad's friends bought rims for his truck so he gave me the wheels and caps.  I just had to get tires and the lug nuts.

Here's mine with a couple different choices:

17" American Racing Torque Thrust II's with Nitto tires.



17" Eagle Alloys with Michelin Pilots



15" Cragar SS's with BFG Radial T/A's

I've got 15" Centerline ConvoPro on mine. 15x8 up front, and 15x10 out back. I like them and I've gotten compliments on them before from those who know what they are. They aren't expensive to buy new either.
