8 lug gennie wheels??

Post by OldBlue67 »

do these exist?? I don’t like the wheels I’ve got, they look ok on late model trucks but just don’t seem to match Blue. I’d like something more classic looking (actually Identical to the pic I’ve attached) but since its a F250 I’ve got the 8 lug pattern and it seems like there’s dang near nothing available for it, let alone in the style I want. Has anyone seen some around like this, or have any ideas for recreating it?

those look like a chrome smoothie wheel like ones I used to install at the tire dealership, Liz.

if you look at cragar, or prime wheels, I think you might find what you are looking for. (as for 8-lug, ?? I dunno really)

probably have to paint them, also.


edit:here is some I found at Jegs, but no 8 lug unfortunately :( :cry:

there are a few places you can send wheels to, and they will cut out the centers, and install any backspacing and lug pattern you want. I cant think of the name of any of them right now- too many brain farts, I guess! :lol:
you will need the large hole for the rear hubs also.
its beginning to sound like Heep is right when he said to change it to 5 lug! :lol:
