Post your wheels!

So now that 1TonBasecamp imparted some much needed knowledge about steering stops, I am hoping to get some ideas on wheels by seeing what y'all got. I am looking for 15" to fit my existing (pretty meaty still) 33x12.5r15s, but even if you have bigger size - still would like to see what you have since it's possible they could exist in smaller sizes.

My truck has a 4" lift and will have what's called "Combination Tu-Tone" paint (see below - not my truck). So - please, dont be shy!

These are late 70's vintage Western wheels. unfortunately, they were only made in 16.5 in the 8 lug pattern which sucks, but in 15" your tire options are many. they are my favorite vintage correct wheels and not that hard to find.

Hrm - I thought 15x8 were too skinny to fit a 33x12.5 tire? And that not many shops (if at all) be willing to mount?

You can get these rims in wider sizes. Just what I happen to have.

I bought a 5th Dodge wheel off eBay and another tire so I have a spare the
same as the other 4 and I can do a 5-tire tire rotation.

Mine are 16"x10" Centerline Wilderness Series Scouts........ I liked the look, and the fact that they are forged......... I don't think they make them anymore, though....
