Are those 4wd or 2wd wheels? If they're 4wd wheels, I might look for a set of those in the spring. They really do look good.

i don't think i've ever seen them for a 4WD truck.............not sure if these rims were offered on the AWD Astro's-they have the same off-set as a 4x4, right? ..........does anyone know for sure?

They're 2wd and that's the only style they ever made them in. Finding center caps is a bitch! I hope the GMC ones I ordered will work. I found a few single wheels on ebay but they want about $80 EACH plus shipping, and they're not even in perfect shape. I used to have them on my 92 4 door 2wd Blazer with silver centers.

Well, got the tires in yesterday and got them mounted and balanced today and on the Blazer. The GMC center caps came, but they won't work as they stick out from the wheel too much and would collect snow and crap behind them. So I'm still on the lookout for some caps that fit. The pics are just with the stock lugs on and no lug caps or center caps. When I find something I'll post up more pics.

Looks good. BTW, you can get black lug nuts for >$20 at Autozone. They even come with a set of wheel locks. Or you could just paint the stock nuts or screw the little caps back on

I'm debating on chrome or black lug nuts. The GMC caps would have covered the lugs if they had worked.
