I have another wheel that I know is Chevy though. All I can find on the gray wheels are an "L" with "195" underneath it then an "S" underneath that on the back side between a couple of the lug holes. They have a 4-1/2" center hole and the lug spacing is 6-1/2". There are no other holes inbetween the lugs like the Chevy wheel I have. 7714233-052113154436.jpg (69 downloads) Last edited by Rhinodart; 05/21/13 07:10 PM.

I just noticed no wear makes around the holes, so I bet it's chevy wheel. My dually uses the same wheel and ring setup. OK I'm no help, no trucks here now to take pictures of, good luck.

Did the 16" Dodge wheels ever change since they went to 8-bolt in 1969?
