Well I've been searching for these for a while now. I finally found a set at a local wreckers. These are the 16x6.5, 8 bolt steel rims used on dodge vans and dodge ram trucks from 94-99-ish. Most of the time they were just the base, no charge rim, but I had seen a couple nice sets and knew I had to have them.

So cleaned and painted the rims, found decent trim rings and good caps, ordered the new lug nuts necessary to mount them on the 1/2 studs on the front, and then had my tires swapped over.

Now the back spacing is off a little between the stock rims and the new ones. The stock rim has about a 3 3/4" back spacing, and the newer 2nd gen rims have a just shy of 4 1/4" back space. I had ordered spacers to make up the difference but after installing them I don't really notice a big difference, and I actually think they look better set back in the wheel well.

I've been painting the block letters on my tires with some white vinyl/rubber dye...since I just love raised white letter tires. Done this in the past with very good success.

Anyway here are a couple pics.....
