R  ight now my truck has a pair of 16's, one 15" and one 14".(it's not running) any how original 16's are hard to find so I was thinking about going aftermarket. I want to keep the look as close to stock as possible and have a rim that will accept a small chevy hubcap. any suggestions?? thanx

The tricky part is finding 3.75" (or less) backspacing so you don't hit the steering knuckle. Do a search and you'll have hours of reading.  | | |

I have had 50/50 luck in getting junk vs useful used and remanufactured parts from them (they take back stuff you do not like but it is a waste of time and effort and shipping costs). Good luck, Tim | | |
