Default Old style steel wheel

This is a wheel from a 90s chevy 1/2 ton pickup. 15x7, 5 on 5 lug pattern. Aprox. 4inch BS. Clears the caliper by 1/8". The center bore is a little bigger than the hub (makes the wheel lug centric). The tire is a BFG KO 33x10.50 nearly used up.

I like the old style look. Did not drive it, I only have the one wheel from a swap meet. Just a test fit.

Looks good. Never thought of chev rims. Think my old man has some from his last truck. Make good winter rims. Worried about the 1/8" clearence though

Looks like old army jeep wheels. Would look good on a rescue green jeep and painted tan.

I am not sure about the 1/8" either, thinking stones from mud etc.

My wife hated the look too. She said it looked cheap. She want somthing polished aluminum.

I was just playing around.

Instead of paying for a high dollar 5th rim it will work as a spare

I'd run em, I think they look good in a military type way....oh and to all the "I wouldnt do it with 1/8" clearance guys"...my 15x8 rockcrawlers that a TON of guys use actually rubbed on my calipers for the first few miles, I think he'll be fine
