Dad used those rims on his 12 Cab C8.

The wheels on my trucked were butchered by the previous owner decades ago. I have cut out the 13'' centers and bolted/welded them into the center of 15'' trailer rims from Princess Auto.

This modification is just a temporary as this will not pass safety or legal for the road. Surprisingly with this being eye balled together, during the test drives I don't feel any wobbles or imbalances
