I don't know if it has been discussed, but do they make conversion kits for 2000 Chevy Blazers so that I could put on these babies?:

Or do they make any kind of 5 lug SS Wheels that fit my truck?
EDIT: I just learned that Silverado SS Wheels are 5 lug. Is that true? I found some replicas, they are $1045 a set.

S-series wheel bolt patterns are 5 on 4.75" BC. The GMT360/370 platform vehicles (Trailblazer, Envoy, Rainier, etc) are 6 on 5" BC. With out looking at the bolt circles overlaid on each other, I cannot say for sure if it is even possible to make an adapter to get it to work.
Let me see if I can work up an illustration for you.

I ran into a site that has 22' replicas. They are 6 x 5.5'. Will that work, or is it absolutely 6 x 5? I have not yet learned the way of rims. I should wiki rim sizes. I never owned a pair of rims (besides stock) in my life :-( I wish I had a nice shiny pair, but I never have enough money at one time. Maybe I should hit up a local rent n roll. LOL. But I love OEM goodies, especially when they are shiny.

6 on 5.5 is the fullsize truck bolt pattern. The SS trucks have a similar wheel to the TBSS.
Here is a drawing showing the difference between a 5 on 4.75 and 6 on 5 bolt pattern. The 6 on 5.5 would be another .25" further out at each of the 6 stud representations. I moved things around, but there just is no good way to keep everything sufficiently away from each other. You have to have room to put lug nuts onto your existing studs and still have the adapted studs be there.
Here ya go:

So I guess it's safe to say, no OEM S Series Wheels for me? :-( Too bad. I think SS Wheels would look so bad a$# on a 2nd Gen Blazer. Lets petition Chevy for a new accessories line. Its seems like its never a win win situation. These car makers keep changing the standard layout. What happened to the good ol' Honda days, when if it fit one car, it fit the entire company line of vehicles.
