My opinion, one of the only sets of wheels that never gets old on these trucks! Except there's only a few sets of tires available for them these days..

Agree, love those aluminum slots but tire choices too limited. Thus, I sold my set for cheap.

I'm going to have to replace the tires at some point and when I do i'm just going to get the new style version from us mags in a modern 17" version so I can keep running a BFG all terrain. but I just can't bring myself to spend that kind of money right now for a truck that doesn't get driven that much, and my wife might kill me over the cost. Lol!

I've been looking at these for several months now, but man the roughly $325/each price tag on top of the cost of tires, mounting, balancing and lug nuts, etc. I can't bring myself to spend over $2,500 on a tire and wheel package when i've been averaging only about 500-600 miles a year. Unfortunately, even though the tires on the truck look like brand new, and it sits in a climate controlled garage, they are roughly 12 years old and starting to check down in the treads so at some point i'm going to bite the bullet on these and a new set of BFG all terrains. But i just don't like too many other wheels on the market, maybe i'm too old school? Lol I do like the style you have on your truck and a couple similar styles but that's about it. At the end of the day, new tires and wheels is probably cheap insurance over a blown tire at speed and the damage it could cause. And i'd like to stick with a little originality.

Nice!!


Still getting this thing running, but I'm going to stick with the stock look with dog dish, but I don't know if I'm going to do 16x10, or 17x9. I'm still looking for the front caps, but looks like i'll have to get raped on fleabay.

16 or 16.5? I have some 16.5s, they're wide ones; at least 8", maybe 10".
Here's some pictures of the wheels I have. 8 lug slot mags, Shelby branded. They are 16.5".
Two are 8.25" wide, two are 9.75" wide. They are in good shape, no curb rash or wallowed out lug holes.
Also I have a set of steel wagon wheels that are 8 lugs, but I'm not sure of the dimensions of them. Will check next time I'm in the shop building, perhaps Saturday if the weather is good.

Noice!

I've got those, too:

(four for summer use; four for winter use)

I like these too, want to get a set for the crew cab. I also like the H2 aluminum wheels, but they are even harder to find and are 17" so new tires would be required with them. Whereas the PY0s use the same size that I already have, which is great since I have a new pair of tires (BFG commercial T/A's) on the front!
