I am looking for a set of 16.5 inch 8 bolt chevy rims. I have standard on the rear of my truck and would like to put reverse rims on the front to avoid the tie rod issue. I can't seem to find anyone who has regular rims. Everyone has rally wheels and chrome and so on...I just want regular rims to put hubcaps on.

Any suggestions...Even my local garage buddies don't mess with them.

I bought 8 lug trailer type wheels and the hub caps fit fine. Look in the archives. That is how I found the. Thanks MAC

You may want to avoid 16.5s. Tires are getting difficult to find for them. Not impossible, but difficult.

I agree with Bill. I have a set of 16.5s sitting in my barn as it was cheaper for me to buy 5 16 inch tires and wheels than it was to get 4 16.5 tires.

I have made a silly blunder. I am actually looking for 16 inch 8 lug chevy rims, not 16.5. The mark on the wheel is 16 x 6.5 the tires I believe are R16s

I am looking for a dealer of rims. All I can find on line are rally wheels and fancy chome wheels I just want regular rims I can put hub caps on.

Any one know of one?
