Help - Stock Aluminum Wheel Look in 15 x 8...

[PWagon]

My 1986 K5 Blazer came with 15x7 factory aluminum wheels (baja style). I love this look, but they are too narrow. I want to find a 15x8 in the same style wheel. I see a lot of wheels out there with similar styling, but the holes are way too big in the wheel (not the lug holes, but the holes they machine for appearance). For example, the new Mickey Thompson Baja 172 wheels look "cheesy" in my opinion (they look like something you'd see on a modern day Matchbox car or Hot Wheels car). I want to find a wheel that's an almost exact match in appearance as my factory wheel only in a 15x8 (6x5.5) wheel. Any suggestions? I have attached a photo to this post that shows both what I have and what I'm looking for. You can see the obvious width difference. I would greatly appreciate any help here.

I like the wheels your talking about, my k5 came with 15x10s on it and they were too wide for my 32x11.50s from a visual standpoint. I found the rallies for a good price and went that direction. Ill keep my eyes out for ya.

I know there are a ton of different variations on the "baja" style wheels, but the American Racing "baja" http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/?wheelid=AR1721&siteid=1&groupid=3&page1=1 has smaller holes similar to factory wheels. I think part of the problem is that most of the wheels out there in this style are going to come polished instead of machined/clear coated. Another variation would be the AR mojave which has a flat center http://truck.hownd.com/photo-2771-american_racing_wheels_mojave_chrome_series_6081.html I also found a couple more options here: http://www.americastire.com/dtcs/findWheelsBySize.do?rcz=93454&rc=CSAINT&wd=15&bp=6-139.7*6-5.5&rw=8 although none of them are exact matches, one of these may come close.

I could have swore when I had mine off to sell I saw somewhere on the wheel it was stamped with 15x7 or 7.5. Pretty sure those stock aluminums aren't 6" wide.

You'll be able to find other similar wheels in a wider version with similar size hole openings. but doubtful to get exact looking replacements

Basically like the ones previously posted is about the closest you're gonna come to those.

*sheesh, doing this stuff on a phone can be tough at times.. :-P

Yeah, the factory aluminums were 15x7.
