Im finally ready for 3/4 ton swap!!

[muddybuddy]

hey guys, i just bought 3/4 ton dana 44 and 14 bolt with 410 gears for $300, finally. seemed like a pretty good deal to me, considering junk yard wanted $500 for each.

but i am having 1 problem. i really like the black steelies, but i cant find any 8 lug 15" ones, summit has some, but cant be shipped until july 19th, adn jegs no longer has that size. i think 4wheelparts has them, but they are like $75 and summit used to have them for like $45.

anybody know of a place that i can find them?? ive got a 2-tone black/red k5 and i think the black would look sweet

thanks

Summit has the US wheel 15x10 8 lug white ones for $43.
Ship date tomorrow.
Those are the ones I have used and will be buying again in the near future.
If black is yer flavor.. use some scotch brite on them and paint em black.

I bought 15x8 white spokes and had them powder coated black, cost me $16 per wheel.

Just ordered the black Cragar series 342 "D" window 8 Lug on 6.5, 15" by 8" from Summitt for $39/ea. They had all sizes of backspacing in stock when I called Weds. afternoon. Hell of a good deal.

does anyone make a 15" 8 lug aluminum I'm getting my 3/4 tons this week also and need to stay with a 15" rim but don't really care for the steelies

Found these yesterday.....not sure where to get the best price though.

I'ld say no. The aluminum is thicker than steel wheels for structural purposes. A 16" rim just barely fits over the front brake/steering components.

Check these guys out.

Somebody else posted the link a while back. Look at the bottom of the main page at the last two American Eagle Style. I know nothing about them, but that's a good price. Notice it says "Prices are for a set of 4 Wheels." If anyone has any info let me know. Thinking about them for my DD. Hell, I should have bought those for my K5.
