Look like factory chevy truck rims to me. I just bought 4 for my truck.
They sell at salvage yards here for $10.00.

I agree. They look like factory 15x6" GM truck (& big car) steelies.

Tx Firefighter · 02-19-2010, 08:51 PM

I agree with Scoti, 15x6 base model truck wheels. Mine came off an 80 model truck.

**kev2809** · 02-19-2010, 09:10 PM

thanks guys. now i need to go find me another one. hey tx firefighter, what did you use to paint those rims? i want to do mine black with baby moon caps

Tx Firefighter · 02-19-2010, 09:13 PM

I run a part time powdercoating shop. That's bright white powder.

**kev2809** · 02-19-2010, 09:20 PM

oh, i see. looks great man. you sandblast them to get them clean?

i planned on blasting mine, so i went and found a cheap one on craigslist and it sucks big time. i have to sell it. is there any alternative to blasting them?

Tx Firefighter · 02-19-2010, 09:22 PM

Yes, I blast them before powdercoating.

**kev2809** · 02-19-2010, 09:32 PM

out of curiosity, how much would a set of 4 rims blasted run?

i think you are too far from me, but at least it gives me a good price range idea so i can check around my area.

Tx Firefighter · 02-19-2010, 09:48 PM

I don't do just blasting for hire without powdercoating work involved, but my local guy gets 20 a wheel to clean them up real nice for folks who need blasting work.

**kev2809** · 02-19-2010, 10:51 PM

where exactly is your shop?

and how much for the blasting and black powdercoating from you?

Tx Firefighter · 02-20-2010, 12:42 AM

I'm a long way from you, up in the Ft Worth area

the baby moons wont fit those wheels

you will need a wheel like a camaro/corvette wheel that have the nipples in the inside close to the lugs that hold the cap in. there are aftermarket wheel companys that make these wheels that fit a 5x5 lug patteren.

there are alot of cool hub cap from gm that will fit your wheels.

Tx Firefighter · 02-20-2010, 11:41 AM

Any moon cap that is 10 1/8 inches inside the lip will fit them. I just did a set for Shaneschevys the other day and we put baby moons on them no problem.
