LOL! Actually I have both sets of hubcaps that came in 77 but cannot bring myself to install tham I like the plain argent wheels better!


Haha fantastic! It looks amazing either way. Just wondering what the other 2% is now.

Weren't the stock ‘77 wheels argent in color?


Is there a place that lists out the wheel colors per year? I never knew that 77 originally came with Argent colored wheels. Thank makes total sense now.

I'm sure an expert can chime in with better details, but if what I know is correct - 66-72 were white, 73-76 were gray (non-metallic) and 77s were the argent/metallic silver.

I may be wrong but early 76 had gray and later had argent if I am not mistaken.

What size tires are those on there?

Hey Jack,
I have 33x10.5x15 BFG's KO2's on stock 15x5.5 stock steel wheels. I have a 3-inch suspension lift and a 4 inch in the back lift to clear the uncut fenders. Are you trying to figure out your lift and tire size?

I love the look of those tires on the stock wheels. I am thinking 31 X 10.50 X15s on mine.

Thanks! I think it is the best look for a EB and the other advantage too is the 33's bring down the RPM's on the freeway as well!I think it gives it the rancher/forest service tall skinny tire style look! I love it!
