haha!
you have to go to www.pacerwheels.com and enter your zip code to find a local retailer. i got mine from firestone when i was in Florida. ran me roughly $225 with tax for the pair. they are the 15x8 with 4" backspacing

i don't have the 6.5" bs wheels, they are 4". all i had to do was grind my calipers. if i do go with some 6.5" bs wheels which i plan on doing soon, then i'll have to switch to the s10 callipers or drum brakes.

ok im interested in going this route, and keep my rear disk. im tired of slinging rubber everywhere...and my brakes have needed to blead for the last 2 years anyways lol.

david, did you have to replace any of your brake line stuff, or did you just bolt in the s10 calipers and put your oem chevy banjo stuff to the s10 brakes?

does anyone besides bogart make a 15x10 6.5" BS?

do the silverado brake pads work inside of the s10 calipers?

no need to replace the caliper brackets?

is there another thread that i missed that answers all of these questions lol.

no need to replace the caliper brackets? no i used all my silverado hardware
