They are AR-767 wheels (15"x8"). I got mine from PepBoys (what a hassle!!)
for $36 each, plus $6 each for center caps. I have a pic at
http://camalott.com/~mrdancer/dakwheel.jpg but it's kinda fuzzy. I'll have
a better pic up by mid-week (we just got a new digicam at work :-) and will
have better pix then.

The only problem with the wheels is they are pretty heavy. For comparison,
the factory 15"x6" alloy wheels with 215/75/15 street tires weigh about
45lbs. and the AR 15"x8" steel wheels with 225/60/15 street tires weigh
about 50lbs. each. Five pounds doesn't seem like a lot, but since it is
rolling weight, it's like having 20 pounds of static weight on the truck -
that adds up to 80lbs. worth of static weight where it doesn't do any good
for handling, etc.

OTOH, they are nice wheels for the price :)
