    There's a good salvage yard down the road. I'll check with them.

    There's nothing wrong with it the way it is. Y'all know how projects are...

    Excuse me I did not say what I meant clearly.
    The 8 lug hub piloted rims were mainly on trailers and Internationals as I recall and or saw. Seamed to be a battle between 8 and 10 lugs when hub piloted wheels were introduced and the 10 lug won.
    If you can find four descent aluminum 8 lug rims and have 1/2 inch stud sticking through your nuts that is your least expensive way. Then you have four spare rims. Aluminum on steel is another discussion and if you want all aluminum wheels studs would need to be replaced unless exceptionally long.
    Reference to stud and lug thread diameter was to let you know 8 and 10 lug rims have different thread diameter. If you change over to 10 lug get the complete deal because the lug nuts off your 8 lugs won't work.

    I'll have to wait on pics. Left 'em in the shop. Haven't decided if I'm gunna hand polish or pay for them to take a ride on one of those machines.

    Depends on how pitted they are after i scrape the grease and dirt off.
