Hi Dan...

You can get these at your local truck auto wrecker.
I personally compared actual M1008 wheels with civilian stock steel
wheels for an 8-bolt Chevy truck side-by-side and they are identical
in every respect. There are no differences at all.
I know you'll be skeptical. I know I was as I made the inspections
myself. But it is a fact.
I believe this is true for M1009s as well...that civilian 6-bolt
Blazer wheels are the same as M1009 CUCV wheels, but I have not
confirmed this for myself.
Hope this helps.
