...Or at least 16"? I'm looking for the performance of a 17" wheel without the cost of a pretty aftermarket rim (Trying to retain a sleeper image, too). What size plain steel wheels were available from the factory that now would be in boneyards?
(P.S. Did I post this in the right board?)

Check trucks. My dads 73 pickup has 16.5" steel wheels on it, I am pretty sure they are around 7 or 8" wide.

Wheel vintiques and paulsen wheels both sell ralleys and solids for cheap. You can pick up a set of 17x8, or 10's for about $138 bare.
