I have had a few 2wd gmt400 trucks all with 15 inch wheels and pretend brakes. Bolt circle is 5x5 if I recall.

Hmmm. I have a project that could use 5 X 5 GMT400 2wd wheels, either 15" or 16". Already have the tires for 15". Gonna have to scour the Treasure Yards.I have had a few 2wd gmt400 trucks all with 15 inch wheels and pretend brakes. Bolt circle is 5x5 if I recall.
GM full size 2wd trucks were 5x5" from the 70s until the GMT800 when they went to 6-lug 2wd.Well...uh...ummm...YEAH. Sure I was!
Truth is, my brain just assumes that a GMT400 is a 4WD. I only know one guy around here who had a 2WD. (That assumption has gotten me into trouble with bad advice on this board before.)
So...what is the bolt circle on those C1500s? 5 X 5", or 5 X 5 1/2"?
Honestly i just want it to look good when im looking back at it. Are you familiar with brake bomber? Should i wax the wheels? Or is there some other miracle solution for wheels.Possible? Sure.
Practical? Not so much. You'd need to polish down to clean metal in a way that didn't make it look obvious that it was a "spot job"--so if the wheel has a machined surface (some do, some don't) you'd have to duplicate the machining. More realistically, you'd have to polish or machine the ENTIRE WHEEL, then clearcoat whatever you polished/machined to keep the corrosion from coming back.
And THEN, you have to tell the wheel-balance guy to not put clamp-on weights on the outside (visible side) of the wheel, so you're gonna spend more for a "mag wheel balance" using tape-weights just behind the spokes, and either tape weights or clamp-on on the inside rim.
Something else to add. Not only did 400 have 15 and 16 wheels they also had 5 lug 16 wheels. Most 16 were either 6 lug or 8. And last they had 2 different 15" steel wheel offsets.
