Size, offset, caps, beauty rings... I am about to restore a 53 3100 Chevrolet pickup, and these wheels are the only ones that look right for my style... I would like to find some info to be able to find a used set, but not sure where to start to look for that style. Any info would be appreciated.. P.S. Love the sight, thanks for all the info for helping restore my pickup..

The wheels are 15" the caps and rings are of the CAR line not the truck line, however this photo shows a Beautiful Bolt and a good idea.

I have GM 15X8 6 lug wheels on my '52. I added the resto hubcape and trim rings as shown in the photo attached (I hope.
I had to install clips on the wheels to hold the hubcaps but that was no big deal.
Hope this helps.

I got my wheels at Super Chevy Show at Bristol motor speedway and they are American Wheels 15x 8" with 3" offset for front and 5" offset in rear 6 lug. I bought a set of stainless trim rings off Ebay but I dont like them on my truck.I have stock 61 deluxe hubcaps. That is a nice truck in the picture,Hobert
