thanks man
Check this. 1973 Blazer ads. I have not Photoshopped them 
. Same color as yours, they advertise it with black rims and with white. I thought about doing mine in black but then decided not to. Maybe one day when they need refinishing I'll go black instead.

That's exactly what I thought when I was refinishing mine. Maybe I'll get tired of the white after I run them for awhile. But right now I prefer white. Cool to know they also came stock in black though.1978Blazerk5 said:

Hey Craig do you have a link to all of those old K5 adds you post or could you email them to me?
John here's the link to the GM trucks part of the website. There's way more stuff about several different makes and models if you go back out to the home page. It'll keep you busy for awhile!clarkjw24 said:

Awesome! I'm here at work to day and I'm thinking of loading the high gloss paper in our large format printers
Good call. I forgot about that one.tRustyK5 said:

I bought them tires and all for 50 bucks per wheel/tire. It was more than they're worth but I had trouble contacting the guy who had them on his Blazer since they weren't for sale. I pretty much had to dangle the $200 out there just to get him to call me back. It worked and I'm happy. He ended up putting Rallys on his Blazer...

that seems pretty fair.
rally wheels with no tire in a junkyard here are $50 a peice
there is a guy a couple of block down from me,who has a set of those wheels. i was thinking about knocking on his door and see if he will sell.they are on his plow truck.

I'd do it. It took me ten years to find the set I have now. They're virtually impossible to find anymore. Get something worked out with him for sure.

Well if that deal doesn't work out, here's the link to the Stockton wheel page where they show the 20 series wheel which is the wheel you would want and they could always custom-build it. If you ever need specs off my wheels just let me know.

If I ever find myself owning a 3/4 or 1-ton GM truck I'd have a series 20 wheel made in an 8-lug 16x9 and get the larger dog dishes in the same style I have now. That would look awesome.
Here's a picture of a '74 3/4-ton Chevy truck that was for sale on eBay a few months ago that has the larger caps. It was an untouched survivor with less than 9K on the ticker. It was owned and bought new by an Illinois fire department. I think the rims on it are 16x8s. That's close to what I'd want (just meatier tires). Maybe I'll Photoshop it later...
