Hey guys I have 8 lugs on my 53 and I am having a lot of trouble finding any wheels. I would prefer 18s but if you know of anything please post up. Thanks for the replies in advance!

Amarillo TX and you can't find 8 lug wheels? You aren't looking very hard I'd have to think.
Any wheel on this link should be available through a good local full service tire store https://www.google.com/search?q=18+i...icial&tbm=shop

Have you checked with these guys? http://www.reedfaristire.com/wheels.aspx

Used you might have problems finding 18 inch wheels but 16 or 17 inch wheels should be pretty common used.

Let me rephrase. Wheels that don't look like they belong on a diesel truck. I found wheels but I want steel wheels or something not so offroad looking

Sure are a lot of ugly 18 inch 8 lug wheels out there but you already knew that. I'm usually pretty good at finding the odd thing but I cannot find a plain steel "steelie" 8 lug rim in 17 or 18 inch at any width. 16's are all over the place but nothing in larger sizes.

Let me know when you convert. Those would look good on my 99 Crew Cab.
