Excellent ! Thanks ! I do not have that issue but will try to track one down for My collection. I had never heard of Essence Wheels either so that is an important find of 6 lug history. I don't think I ever photographed a truck with those wheels, was that ad from the same issue?

 

Take care, Mike

Thanks. I saw those. I have two other Permacast 14" X 6.5" rims that I am checking on having that treatment done at a shop in Las Vegas. If I find (or if any of You guys) a pair of 6 lug 15" X 10" rears, they will be done too. If You hear of ANY in that size PLEASE let Me know. Thanks !

I was totally about to jump all over those.......... until I noticed the center holes were bored out for larger axles (IE; 4X4, etc).      :(   :(

 

I will still speculate on them though. Thank You for sharing the ebay link. Had they had the smaller opening for stock center caps, they would be on their way to My house right now.
