Never saw it, but I like the look of the old, vintage style wheels. Are they old American Racing wheels, or does anyone have an idea?

I agree, I like the look of the fat tires on the small wide rims. The
rubber band tires on what look like wagon wheels that have become the
"Vogue" today don't work for me.
Guess I'm just a seventies guy,

Now, if we could find those 8 hole rims with deeper dish in front than in back, that would work. I'd rather not have all of that "flairing" if avoidable. Really cool look. Makes that one look like an overgrown GM van. Id like to see a 26 footer decked out like that. Lets call Jim Bounds. Better yet, Nelson, run this photo over to him Monday. Tell him I sent it. That way he won't slug you.

Jim used to have a set of 16.5 by 10" wide steel wheels that worked
great on the front wheels. The problem was getting tires for that size
with a good load rating. It drove very well with very little rut
running.

Someone should be able to make us wheels like that to withstand our load. We could stretch tires on them. Take a look at the front of my Vdub. I have 205x15 tires stretched on 8 inch rims.
Of course, each front tire carries about 300 pounds each since it is all fiberglass.
