Anyone here run US Wheel steel wheels on their truck?

I just ordered a set of the 15" USW steel wheels from Summit, I like the OE/smoothie look, paired with having a brand new wheel that's bare and ready for prep/paint.

Anyway, did a bit of searching on here and didn't see any posts about these.


Now I just need to source some tires.

Well the wheels arrive last night, I figured that I would update this thread incase someone else searches for USWheel later on.




Solid wheels. Not a fan of the dual bolt pattern, but that'll be covered up by the baby moon hubcaps that came with the wheels.

I ended up getting a set of 235/75-15 Good Year wranglers because they were the right size and inexpensive. And I painted the wheels gloss black. Tires will be mounted today with letters to the inside. I think it'll look pretty neat.

How wide are the wheels? I'm running the same size tire on front using a stock 80's wheel. Would love to see a pic of them installed.

They're 6" wide, but they make these in several widths.

Here are the wheels and tires all set.

The wheels look great with the baby moons. Good choices and good choice on the black color.

i have seen these look really good if you add a silver paint from about the valve stem out it looks really good with that and baby moons and hey if you don't like it spray a lil black back over it no harm no foul

They do sell a beauty ring that does what you suggest, but I don't like that look as much.
