We got the old IH truck going over the weekend, all the tires are holding air but we noticed it had spit rims, which most places are very leary of working on. I measured the wheel since it looked awlful close to my Ranger's spacing and it was .25" off. Looking around it seems that this lug spacing isn't all that common, anyone know of a different vehicle that would use the same pattern? We probably won't run out and buy new rims for it just yet, but it would be nice to watch for some more modern take offs that look a little better.

Truck is a 2wd 1967 1100 with a 304, and a 4 spd.

I think one of my friends had a '67 Dart that had 5x4.25 spacing. So that's one spot to look and that right there opens up a lot of aftermarket options.

I was hoping for a different truck type rim, I guess the base Dart style may have the same look. It originally had domed hubcaps and I can't really come up with any other styles that would really look any better on this style of truck.

I did look around on there but about all I can find are alloys in that pattern, most of which won't go with the truck that well. I am mainly looking for something like what is in the link but what kind of vehicle I can find it on used. 15's would be preferable to 16's as that is what was on the truck originally. $125 a pop for a new unpainted steel rim plus hubcaps for a 40 year old truck with original paint is kinda steep. We do need to repaint it and fix what rust it has, but we need to add on to the garage to keep it inside first.
