Does anyone know where i can find wheel spiders for a 5x5 1/2 b.p.?All that I can find are 5x4.5 or 5x4.75.

i don't think they make them in that size. there is a guy on ebay selling bullet wheel centers that work for our center hole diameter. i think that is as close as you are going to get in 5x5.5

Truckster: Glad you posted the info. I was going to look up your PM to me about these when I got to my computer, but you beat me too it.

They lowered the price :wink:

I would have hated to seen the "before sale" price. I like spiders, but not at that price. I wonder how much of that is paying for the So-Cal name?

The guy Truckster found

has the push through bullets and the 1/2 lug nuts at a much cheaper price that the other one. Not exactly the same, but IMO looks as good without the expense.

That's pretty close to being right in line with spider cap prices

I just looked at peppy3de's current listings and none of the center caps he is currently running fit the Ford pickup wheel center hole. Tom

Deadhead....you have to contact him. He has them, they're just not listed. That's what I had to do when I got mine.

Kool, that works for me. I never have figured out why the companies quit making spiders in the 5 on 5 1/2 size. Tom :oops:

oh yeah, i knew that and actually like the look better. spiders look pretty cool, but i hear they can be a pain and you have to drill your wheels.
