So, I have a 1994 Toyota 2wd truck. I wanna go with a "hot rod" theme, and I like the steel wheel and thin whitewall look. The only problem is our stock steel wheels are ugly. I want to use 14's that have a more solid center, and obviously some more offset. I tried s 14 off of my 1963 Mercury, but the center bore was too small. Anybody have any other ideas? Kinda like these:
Might be able to get the centers bored, but I'm not sure if the oned I have will fit over the caliper. I need disc brake compatible solid steel wheels. Tacoma ones are just as ugly, and usually 15s.
crown vic wheels...... magnum, 300m, or similar model wheels...... also ford ranger, f-150 truck wheels also fit..... you can go with some custom made steelies. pick the centers you want and they will weld the center drums to whatever offset and width you want. might cost a bit more but they will be to your exact spec and desired width.
Well, the only problem with all of those suggestions is none of them are 14s. I want to keep 14s, that's why I put it in the title.
U can buy aftermarket steelies. Forgot the name but a company makez some clean lookin steelies. Wether theyre steel or not im not sure
I have a set I found at a yard sale back in the summer. Came off a 65 mustang. Everything was perfect. Bolted straight up.
F-150's are a bigger 5 lug pattern. Explorer's fit, though. I like the 79-83 Hilux steelies, have 'em for my winter wheels.
I have an original spare that came with my truck. Its a 14" and looks like your pic. Even has the original 87 Bridgestone 185/14, that has never touch the roadway. Problem is finding 4 different peeps that have one they would sell.

Coker, seriously? Hot Rod Steel - 15x5 Primed - Hot Rod Steel - Street & Hot Rod Wheels - Wheels These are ugly, the smallest they come in is 15", and they are $84 a piece! I wanted to know what I could get out of a junkyard for $10 a piece! :: CRAGAR WHEELS :: Wheels :: This is closer, no extra holes, but still only a 15" and chrome, so it ain't gonna be cheap. Spider Hubcaps Lug Covers / Spyder Wheel Cover Photos This is the look I'm going for. OE steel, gloss black with a red pin stripe and spider caps, maybe beauty rings. They need to be 14" that will clear disc brakes, that's as clear as I can be!
