Steel rim?

I am wondering who is running steel rims? I would like the factory steel rims with 315/75R16's. Does any one know who manufactures some close to this style in a 16"x 8" version or who has widen the factory ones? Just like the looks of the factory steels and paint them black.

I've been looking into this as well, particularly just widening some stockers. A nice powdercoat the same color as my truck with some trim rings would be awesome.

CRAGAR makes a 16X8 8-170 4.5" backspace 0" offset black steel wheel in their 397 series.




I do not know if it is hub centric.

To save some heartache with their crappy website, here is their fitment guide.

Looks like they make them in chrome, too, as their 398 series.

The painted ones are cheap, too. About $100 each online, while the chrome are about $120 online.

3987881 - 16X8 8X170 Chrome
3977881 - 16X8 8X170 Painted Black

Load rating 3000 lbs (the OEM's are 3415 lbs., I believe.)

Edt: I just found they are NOT hub centric. CRud.

Thanks Bion for the link and information. Why is so hard to find what one is looking for, gets frustrating. Has anyone every widen their own steel rims? I was thinking picking up a set of factory steels & adding 1-1.5".
