16" 8 lug wheels

Looking for a real nice set of steel 8 lug wheels from a 3/4- 1 ton Chevy/GMC Square body 73-87(91). 8x6.5" 16" diameter and I think they are 8 inch wide. Mine aren't real nice and one is a Dodge wheel, and that hurts my OCD, so I need at least 1 GM wheel, or a set of 4 really nice wheels.
Don't need to be perfect, but no rust/pitting, I am going to paint them so that's not an issue.

The 8 lug factory wides are getting harder to find. When I was looking for a set for my old truck I ended up buying an entire truck just for the wheels.

Ugh, the worst part is I know where a GREAT set is but the guy is a hoarder and won't sell them, even though he probably won't ever use them again. They are for his "plow truck". I even offered to swap wheels and money and put his tires back on my wheels, so he can use them. I figured I would ask here first and see what happens. Then i'll start looking on Craigslist.
I want the steelies because i want to run hub caps, i have the caps already, one of the few "original" items I like. I actually bought Mickey Thompson Cassic IIIs in 17", but I like the "pizza cutter" tire look more than the wide tires, plus going to get better mileage with the narrow tire

My brother has a set on his 84 GMC. I'll ask him if he would like to get rid of them. How much are you willing to go for a set? My brother is a hoarder but has shocked the world once in a while and let stuff go.

My wheels were off an 88 GMC one ton and they are 16". Maybe they started using 16s on the later ones?

Maybe therein lies the difference. Or maybe I need the wheels from the GMT400 since 87 was the last year for the square and mine was an 88, so I got the GMT wheels instead. My year is odd and none of the part look ups for stuff work, so I have to go to the 87 model year to find stuff.
