Maybe the lugnuts didn't square the wheels up when I put them on. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

As Greg said, I have a set of polished GMC wheels. They were only on the truck for a week, then I got the 17s. You can see some pics of them on my trucks site in the older pics:

I'd sell them for $300 plus shipping if you are interested.

Thanks Tony.

I'll keep them in mind. That sounds like a good deal but, I really like the looks of the Chevy wheels in the photoshopped pic. I just gotta figure out how to get rid of the Chevy symbol and writing on the center cap. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Any ideas?

John,

You can use center caps from a 96-98 Z71 factory 16" wheel on your wheels. I put them on my Truck last summer. They need to "modified" slightly in order to fit tightly.

My neighbor has those same Z71 wheels on his side yard and wants/needs to get ride of them. He want $200 but I'll give him a week and offer his wife a $100 and bet their mine <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

The diameter of the caps fits perfect on the wheel, but the tabs on back of the caps do not stick out far enough to securly hold the cap on. To get around this I used tie wraps ( see pics
in link above ) and wrapped them around the tabs so the head of the tie wrap sticks out enough to catch the wheel lip. I know this sounds "rigged" but it works and I have had them on my truck like this since last summer. The only drawback is that they are a little difficult to snap into place, and of course they are a liitle tough to remove.
