Beautiful pics. Your spare is same color as truck?

Thanks!

No, the spare is factory grey. I had to see the color next to the Dune Beige 416 before committing to the color on a 4 wheels. The jury is still out... Black steelies or grey???

I prefer black on DB. Your rig is the bee's knees.

No $$$ = no new parts for Big Blue. But I am going to complete the trifecta of visiting SOR, Man-a-Fre and TLC all in one day. By then I just might be $50,000 in the hole. Wish me
luck

I went black....of course my stock steelies are only stock centers in a 16x8 barrel
and my 40 will be 416 Dune Biege

Get yourself a set of OEM wheels. Ship them to Stockton Wheel in CA and ask them to turn them into 16x8 with whatever back spacing you require.

Pay them $150ish (last I checked) per wheel plus return shipping and then be VERY patient.

Thanks! I've read about the approach of widening the stock steelies... but what interests me the most about "40's Rock's" approach is that he relocated the centers of stock steelies into donor barrels of the required size.

This seems like a more elegant (and potentially cost-effective) approach, but I'd need to find out more about it before drawing that conclusion.

The relocating of centers into donor barrels is the most common way the "widen" steel wheels. The nice thing about Stockton is that they can take centers from a 15" wheel and make them work in a 16" barrel.

Ah. So is their $150/wheel price for this "swap the centers" approach? Or is that the price for cutting/widening/welding?

You know what, I should probably just call them huh? A novel idea!
