3.5" lift with 2" body lift....what are the least expensive smooth steel wheels out there?

[chuddy]

I'm building a 66 LUBR that has a 3.5" DUFF lift and a 2" body lift. Looking for 16 or 17" steel smoothie wheels to go on it, but I don't know that I want to spend $330 PER WHEEL on it. Does anyone know of a good inexpensive option?

SWAP MEET...I was able to score some Kelsey Hays wide wheels a few years back

I think I need something skinnier to tuck inside the rear quarters.

Like These?????

This is the least expensive I have found. I’ve been on the 17” wheel hunt for a while. I want an OEM style, which is even more ridiculous in price……

I did see those, do you know what kind of poverty hubcaps fit on those?

Poverty caps do not fit those they use a cap that fits flush like in the picture that is provided with that wheel. The center would have to be cut out for the front hub. Similar to this, different wheel but same concept.

Is that the dodge truck rim? Monkey garage used them on a bronco, I did not because I would have had to ream the inner circle to fit the front axle, and since it was thin metal, did not like how close bolts were to edge.

No it’s a Rally wheel under the Jegs label. Several vintage style wheel manufacturers use them. They are a direct bolt on. The dual pattern 5x5/5x5.5 versions fit a bronco just fine too.
