I'm wondering just how rare the styled steel wheels are? I had a set that I sold dirt cheap, because the bead was all beat up. And I figured the center caps would be impossible to find. Well come to find out they use the standard rally wheel center caps. Anyway, I've never seen another set in person, has anyone else seen anyone use these?

They really weren't rare to begin with, they just are now. You know, from getting scrapped and stuff.

Lol sorry, just teasing. I think we've all done it :cheers:

Was talking to my dad and realized, my truck came with 8 inch wheels with hubcaps. Through buying and horse trading, I ended up with a set of 6 inch steel wheels, a set of rally's, and a set of styled wheels. Seems like rally's and 6 inch wheels are everywhere, and 8 inch plain wheels and the styled wheels are hard to find. Guess which ones we got rid of? Yep, the 2 that are hard to find! Go figure.

Mine has the originals on it. White rims and chrome caps. I will eventually go all chrome though.

Thanks, it seems like everyone around here goes with rally's or aluminum's. The new set I'm going to put on are the old style smoothies. It's rare around here to see them and I just don't want my truck to look like everyone else's.
