Just found these. Everytime I look at them the more I like. Opinions are welcome. Please.
How would these look?

Look pretty good to me! Who makes them? I guess more importantly, do they fit well w/o having to add spacers up front? 
they look pretty close to stock OEM which then prompts the question: if you go there, why not just stay with the factory wheels and save some $$?
if you're going to spend your hard earned greenies, go for something cool but not stock looking....
just my 2¢,

I don't know who makes them but they are 15X8.5 with 3.5 backspacing. I am thinking these will give a bit more off-set but not too wide without having to run spacers.
I like the looks of the stock wheel but not wide enough for my tastes.
BTW if anyone needs a good stock spare chrome wheel for thier rig let me know I have a complete extra set.

They would look kinda like this (circa 1989):
Those would look totally sweet after you send them out to have beadlock rings installed. They would be slightly wider as well. But at 8" wide they already will fit a 12.5" wide tire perfectly.
Nice look on a Cruiser either way.

The backset is good., especially if you are going to go SOA in the future. I belive that that is the offset that lowtideride runs.

Thanks for the input guys. I don't wheel hard. I don't have the funds to fix broken stuff every weekend. Hopefully this will be a dedicated weekend trail/ camp/ hunt rig in a few years but untill then it's will be a DD. I like the thought of being able to re-use parts I am buying now when I really dig into and upgrade as I go.
The wheels are one of those items I will probably go over budget on as I have never had a set of aftermarket aluminum wheels on any of my vehicles. And hey it's father's day right!
Again thank you for the input.

i love the old anson style mags. have a set waiting to go on one of my rigs now.
you will have to get the center machined out to fit the hubs though.

I love those wheels, there was a guy that had a set on a 1985 Toyota pickup in town. I told him if he ever wanted to sell them to let me know. Sadly he sold the truck without contacting me, I havent seen the truck or wheels since.
I had a set my 1964 GTO but decided to sell them because they were kind of stupid sized. 14X6 up front and 15X8.5 rear with TOO shallow of a backspacing for me to run any good sized tire.

I am interested in the spare set of chromes you have for the truck. Pls
PM me how much you want. I am in Portland and can come and pic
them up from you. On a scale of 1 to 10 how clean are the rims like
rust and road rash wise? thx

You know what, its a project car, but I really need to get some pics posted on chat.
Those rims are awesome! Old school mags! My dad had a set of those on his Bronco in the 70's. I always wanted some rims like those, but could not find them.
- They do not look like stock at all.
- Please dont paint them black or go with any black rims for that matter.
- You might want to check on what they are made out of I know that some of the old rims were made out of some type of magnesium and it was rather weak after getting weathered.
- The BS and width sounds great. Thats exactly the size rims I run!

I have the dick cepek DC-1 on my rig. with 33 x 12.5 nitto terra's They are 15" rims and there was no problem with any rubbing or needing to grind anything. I also put the old man emu lift with shackle reversal from MAF on this rig. As soon as I get a good digital camera, I'll post some pics as well.
