8 lug steel wheels

[cbrodine]

I have a 73 gmc 2500 with 16' 8 lug steelies...3 of the 4 are originals, one is a Ford wheel. I am haveing a hell of a time finding a original 8 lug steel wheel to match the other 3. I've had no luck on feeBay or CL. Anyone know any place else to look? Anyone have one to sell or know someone who might? Help a brotha out please...

All I can suggest is hit up every single parts yard in your area. I went through this scenario this past summer and I had a helluva time finding one to replace one of mine that was bent. I never did find one, so I used my spare.

Are you going to run hubcaps? If not, I would suggest getting four matching ones from a newer truck, or go with a nice aftermarket set.

Good luck!

There are a few yards around me and I will try that. I really don't want to get some from a newer truck because I want to stick the old steelies vibe. If I can find another one I am going to have them powder coated and then run as is, with the possibility of hubcaps if I want them.

youre lucky. my 74 has 16.5 inch steelies. I can find 16 all day long, but not 16.5

I couldn't go to a yard without tripping over the early-mid 90's style steelies. I almost went with a set of those to have the center cap/beauty ring look, but it wasn't really what I wanted, so I went the route I did. I had mine powdercoated white and am running the caps. You are kinda new so I feel it is my duty to pic *****...

I still kick myself for selling that set of H2 wheels I had bought. I would like to get another set and see how they would really look. Or I am thinking of getting some wheels widened so I can run the hubcaps, but not be limited to the width of tire.

Glad you did. Gorgeous!

here ya go, 74 gmc 3/4 ton with h2 wheels.

What are your thoughts on them Boonie? Do they fit the style of the square? I kinda thought they might give off the Hurricane wheel vibe. But I have never seen them on a square in person, it's only been pictures.

I like them. wasn't sure about them when I put them on, basically just put them on to get the truck home. had dodge wheels on it. these are the summer wheels off my 08 sierra. but they fit well, and just sit right. if I didn't want to go with the original look, and wasn't planning on ordering some 17x9 original style steelies for it, I would get another set of these and run them.
