Default Found some sweet new 8lug rims!!

Found these on Craigslist and just got them home!!

They are Centerline Convo Pro wheels (16.5x9.5) with 31x10.5 tires on them. No dry rot and about 50% tread.

He even included the lug nuts and centercaps!

I've never see the Convo Pro rims in 8lug... usually just 5 lug for muscle cars.

They have no pitting, clearcoat peel, or curb rash. I almost feel bad putting them on my old truck! haha

I'll post some pics soon as I get em on my truck!

Sexy. A lot better than the dog dishes. Especially when they are dented and cruddy like most are after 20 years.

No rubbing at all, even lock to lock.

And yes, it's a D100 body on a D250 frame. The D250 came stock with 8-lug axles.

Verry nice Wheels, I have a friend that has them on his 97 Dakota with parnelli jones Tires.
OK I will explain
He got rid of the I.F.S. And put a Ford rear ( E Gad ) on the rear and a dana 60 on the front and lifted it 14""
Then he put in a 12 Valve cummins from a wrecked 94.
We drove out to Indianna to a Scheids Diesel event, truck rides beautiful, needs better seats though.
