I picked up my 76 square body k20 about a month ago now, that I'm just going to be using for hauling stuff now and then and slowly fixing it up. It had a set of 34" narrow Interco super swampers on it that were very cracked up and on 16.5" spray painted steelies so I've been watching craigslist for a set of cheap 16" wheels and tires to throw on it to get me by for a while.
I came across a set of 17"x8" aluminum wheels with 265-70-r17's on them, two brand new, two with about 40% tread for just $100 so I jump on the deal. The guy had them on an 06 duramax he was building and didn't need them anymore, they were pretty dirty and a couple had some overspray on them, but I figured I couldn't go wrong for $100.
I did a lot of cleaning and scrubbing on them and they turned out to look pretty good, there are some scratches and pits in the chrome here and there, but they look darn good for a hundred bucks.
I'd like to get some center caps for them, but I have no clue what brand they are. I cleaned up the inside and found all the markings for ratings and size, and found 1 or 2 sets of numbers that might be indentifying marks? See the picture below. I've been able to find another 5 lug set like these for sale online, and someone dug up that they might be RS LUX brand, but I'm not sure about that? Anyone have any clue what brand/model they might be or what center caps might fit them?
Here is a before pic of the truck with the painted steelies and 34" swampers, they were too big and would hit the front finder if you hit a large bump while turning.
An after pic with the "new" wheels and tires
And a picture of it outside in my drive
Then today I sold the old tires and rims for $60 so really I only have $40 in the new ones I guess I should have asked more for the old ones though, I almost had people fighting over them for $60
If anyone could help with pointing me in the right directing for center caps it would be much appreciated.
