Default Car wheels on our trucks ?????

Hey guys as you know I was first searching out the wheels for my truck that look like the ones that where on this truck..

Well I have come up with these, the bolt pattern seems right and rest seems to work tell me why it wont work, pick it apart I wanna hear what you got to say since you guys seem real innovative.. The ones pictured below is as close as I could get with the right bolt pattern..

VINTAGE TTO GUN METAL W/ MACH. LIP
(Series VN309)
two piece aluminum painted

VN3097876 17x8 0 4.50 5x139.7 (5X5.5) the zero is the offset and the 4.50 was back spacing

Crager makes some rims in that style for trucks. You would just need to get the centers painted or powder coated gray to match that look. Summit Racing sells them.

Yeah I like it alright and I did get to e-mail the Designer her at Chrysler since we both work for the same company, just looked up his company e-mail address.. I did post my question to him and his response, I take it you did not see that Frenchy?

Never the less the truck was all costume stuff that I and the public can not buy and it was all show and no go, no way it could be a daily driver because the suspension lift halfshaft angles were tearing up the CV joints .. Please build some thing that actually works.. Cya Slick
