Which Wheels?

Hey Everybody,

Two questions:

1) What is the width of our stock rims?

2) In your opinion, which of the two rims bellow would look better on a '72 shortbed?

72? probably the second ones. The first ones look like they would go better on an 80's truck.

I have the Crager 441's in 17 by 8 on my truck. I went with the 441 because its a 5 spoke. You can see them in my gallery. I think the original wheel width was 6" I like your second wheel choice the best.

Mine in 17x8

I don't really care for either. Something like this would be good.

Thanks guys. These are honestly not MY first choice, but I'm on a very tight budget so I'm looking for something low priced. I realize that the quality, etc. won't be as good, but oh well. What about these?

Those would be my choice in the chrome steel wheels. How would the white spokes look on your truck?

the nomads for sure, but Really for around here the chrome falls off to quick on the daily drivers, so I would go with the white spokes or some aluminum slots off a 79 bronco XLT with the free wheeling package. they look great also are very easy to polish up and cheep.

Is this what you're talking about, rjewkes?

The tires I currently have are 235/75 r15. What rim width can I get so that these tires will still fit?

72f100, DO NOT buy those first wheels. LOL They are almost an exact replica of 2006 chevy silverado wheels. eewwww

if you are wanting wagon wheel style rims, just get a set off of a 89-96. they look great on these old trucks, and fit perfectly. not only that, you can find them by the truck loads at salvage yards, and wheel shops.
