Where to Buy OEM-Style Steelie Wheels?

swampedout
Hey folks,

My truck did not come with a spare, and I'm looking to remedy that. I've searched around partsgeek and autozone and they all do that annoying thing where the website has what I want until I put it in the checkout and it says it's not available.
Discount tire has some aluminum rims but I'm hoping for steel.

So if anyone has any leads on 16x6 8 bolt steelies I'd love to know.

They are everywhere at the JY if you have one nearby. I think mine were $10 dollars apiece. Les Schwab (or a similar tire center ) can blast ($10) and paint or powder coat (cant recall which) them for another ~ $33.

Wheel Vintiques has some eight lug wheels that look close and fit our hubcaps.
Style 82, I believe.

I think I found that Summit's eBay store had them cheapest.

Be carefull that you are buying the correct off set wheel. The offset is measured from the ground to the to the bottom of the pilot hole with out a tire on them( the part that will face the hub down). There have been several different offsets and pilot hole sizes sense the 60's to present. The offset deep the tire sits inside the fender and therefore what it will and wont rub on, IE, calipers, steering componants, frame, ect
