16 or 17 inch steel rims? And where do I find them?

Nice wheels!! So did you get them powder coated Wimbledon White at the factory?

Which dog dish hubcaps are you considering?

Please be sure to post a picture of them installed.

Powder coated RAL 9001

These are the '51 hub caps that fit these.

Clean!
Also stupid of me thinking stock hubcaps fit the 17" wheel ;D

Good thought that the center is OEM - galaxie 67? hubcaps or such will fit.

Try Summit Racing. They have a variety of steel wheels available.

Wheel Vintiques has 15-18" steel wheels from 5-10" widths and various back spacing as well. I have had a couple sets of the 15x7" with a 4" backspacing and they fit great. Most come with the premered finish for going with the popular Wimbledon White or Argent Gray.

Just be aware that many of their products are backordered for months like so many other products right now. I tried to get a set and was told at least April and that was a month ago.

There it is!

Just not balanced yet cause it would chip the powder. Anybody have ideas for that?

Find a shop that will use adhesive weights and have them put on the inside of the wheel.

Nice combo, they look great! I've been debating on center caps for mine. That setup is swaying me towards running them.

No it was peacock blue. Wife liked Arcadian blue better. Your build looks great!!

Is that a dodge wheel I see in the background? Your wheel/tire combo is pretty much what I'm looking for. But, thinking heavy on the cheap route with the dodge wheels.

Those are dodge wheels I have on there for the build. For the cheap route they are great.

We cut the the front ones with a plasma cutter to fit the hubs. Don’t know if they can be used on the road like that.

Let us know how the front caps come out and the method you used... I've been waiting on Wheelsmith to produce some 17x9 with a smaller backspacing to clear my suspension... just called today and they said possibly end of May beginning of June!! I've been going back and forth on those 51 Speedway caps and the 65 F100 caps. I think you've convinced me to go with the 51s, Looks killer.
These are 16x7s we had made for my dads LUBR with the 65 caps... wheelsmith did a great job on the powdercoat and cheaper than sending it out separately.

Curious how these wheels are holding up over the last couple years? I've been having issues with my USWheel Dueces 17x8 4.5 BS, the lug nut holes are starting to wear away after 3k miles. From everything I've gathered, the wheels and axles are lug centric but they aren't fitting well so it's putting extra stress on the studs. Not really sure what to do aside from finding new wheels? Thanks!
