Wheel Identification
Hi,
Curious if these wheels I found on Craigslist are the original style alloy's the fit our OBS's? I can't even get the guy to take a closeup shot or measure lug hole to lug hole. Price seem good? The tires look shot but I do want to upgrade out of my bent up steelies.
Thanks
16 inch aluminum rims with tires(8 lugs) (stuart area)

I wish they didn't have those 285's on them so I can determine the wheel width. I'm running stock size 235 85 16's and don't want to go to a 16"x10" wheel, at least I don't think I should. Do the Eagles have a good load rating, well enough to support the 3400 or so pound range E's?

They are Eagle's
For them to fit dodge, Chevy and ford they have to be 1 6.5 pattern so yes they will fit
Those are 16x8
Look at the pics real good. See how the center of the tread is worn more then the outer ? That's cause the tires are to wide for the rims

What do you think of the price? The tires are goners and it's the wheels I need so paying almost a hundred a wheel, is it worth it? I can buy some Dick Cepek's for about 130 a piece but that's plus tax, etc.

I don't do too well with bartering but at the same time I'm wondering if he thinks the tires are actually worth something. I wouldn't drive on those for more than 500 miles. So I guess that can be my leverage. I'll have to pay to un-mount the tires. Mounting new tires is my problem and my stock size tires have tons of life left in them. I did notice my outers on the fronts are getting worn faster than the rest of the treads but I haven't rotated them in probably 8 to 10 thousand miles yet. I had no alignment ever done and I've had the truck over 3 years.
