I am near Ft. Worth...and if any are available...cleaning & powdercoating won't be a problem...I am just tired of messing with aluminum wheels....and I really want the steel wheels so I get powdercoat them black with ss or chromed nut covers and centers...

Thanks

I'll see what he has and let you know. If you strike a deal with cpdenton, that's ok too.

Calvin,

Are the valve stem extensions you use a specific brand or model? Where do you get them? I knew they made them, but I have never noticed them anywhere for sale?

Thanks,
Ronnie

as much as I hate chrome in oregon, I may have to put those on the dually alu wheels after they get polished. Looks nice. Wait, you said they are stainless, Im there;Sweet;Sweet

your '94 uses the 7/8" covers if they are still oem. camping world doesn't have that one. I found mime on amazon. iirc it was $18/card of 8 covers.

my very own hell
Duallies + trim rings = instant hotrodness :D Especially on black wheels with stainless center caps that hide the rear hubs. And speaking of rear hubs, is there some other style of braided lines for the tire valves that do not bolt to the axle shafts? Cause my axle shafts are covered by the aforementioned stainless caps, so I have no access to their bolts.

Definitely +1 on the trim rings = hot rod look. Check out Early Wheel Company, they do some really cool wheels/trim rings/hubcaps for old hot rod stuff ;Sweet

this what happens when you're bored and you're not allowed to go driving around......

Oakley came with a primo set of Alcolas but they don't look quite right on a dinghy old truck.
So I dug out a set of 16x7 rims from a E-series van and cleaned them out and did the lugnut and chrome treatment.
