New wheels

Just ordered new wheels for my 86 today. I was looking for somthing era correct in a 16x10 but No slots,alum wagon wheels,Outlaws were avaliable in a 16" only 16.5 And outlaw II's were available but i hate em. I hope these will look ok. They are a 16x 10 w a 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern and a 4.5 back spacing. What do ya think?

Nice choice, please post some pics when you get it all together.

How much strain do tires that big put on your power steering system, compared to the factory size?

The steering is not the problem. The ball joints are. Besides, the 315 wiil be like stock tires compared to these

Those look good, but if you don't like them and want somthing similar that's a little simpler.
http://www.ultrawheel.com/wheel_deta...?brand=1&id=46

Look around the site they have some that are similar. The only place that sells them is tirerack.com I think.

They look just like the Weld Stone Crushers that I had on my GMC:





Make sure they are clear coated. Mine weren't and they were a REAL PITA to keep clean. For such an expensive wheel, you think they would have thrown some clear on them.
