    Isuzu trooper 16x7 spare steelies as main wheels...

    Isuzu aftermarket rims are either not my style or more money than i want to spend. I'm going to be rocking 235-85r16's most likely. How about spare steelies for that cheap price, thin profile and cool NATO look?

    C3500 Sierra - SRW conversion. What's needed?
