Steel wheels and small hubcaps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Which companies are good sources for 5-on-5 steel wheels and small hubcaps that look at least somewhat like originals on a 71-72 C10?

My truck has 15x8 rally wheels with 255-70x15 tires, but I really like the OE bare bones look.

A few options:

1.Summit Racing carries wheels and caps by Wheel Vintiques, many different options and configurations to choose from, they even make the OE style with the nubs to use OE style caps
2.If you are in no hurry, checking places like eBay, parts for sale on this forum and/or craigslist etc.
3.Local wrecking yards

I've purchased OE used wheels and caps, I've also found OE used wheels and run caps from other vehicles in the same year (i.e. Oldsmobile, Buick) for a different look etc. Below is a shot of my 66 Burb with Oldsmobile caps:

Front - 15X6
Rear - 15x8
