Hello
I do have 2002 k77 thai import truck

I am looking to get 16 inch modular steel wheels

Steels will be heavier than alloys. You prob want some nice all terrains. Bfg are best. Most run 265/70 16

Be careful if you go for cheaper modular steels.I remember on my second truck I paid £55 each, and they were square! Chinese jobbies that took loads of lead to "balance" them. It was only the kumho 33"muds that made the wheels bearable, as the truck was all over the show and wheel balancing really didn't matter..
