Looks like 6 lug, a Google search confirms 6x5.5. Since you are looking for 16" wheels you may be better off looking in the area first. I am not sure if you want a set of stock GM wheels, or aftermarket. I picked up my last 2 sets locally, one for $50, the other for $60 with some tires both off of Craigslist.

I would like something the same as I have now if possible - I like those.

Does it matter what kind of wheels I have if I will be towing? Or are they all meeting some sort of minimum requirements for load?

Should not be an issue. As long as you are not looking at light weight drag wheels or a set of Dayton spokes then any wheel should be fine. Tires are where most of the weight handling come into play. Two things you need to check would be the backspacing and the center hub diameter. Gm uses a smaller one, while Nissan and Toyota are much larger. When i have access to my computer I can list the right diameter.
Backspacing/offset would have to be near center to be near what you have with your wheels now. Newer GM trucks have a high offset which puts the mounting pad of the wheel towards the front of the wheel, while yours is more towards the center.

6x5.5 and 6x139.7 are the same pattern, one is just the metric conversion.

One item of note, are the ones coming off the stockers? I dont know if checvy used these things, but if they did and you dont remove them it can cause heartache on non-stock wheels.

Yeah Chevy uses them. I would assume that since 1994 the rotors have been replaced at least once. Most places do not reinstall them as they are only used to keep the rotors in place on the assembly line. If they are there, a flat head screw driver and pair of vice grips or channel locks makes for an easy removal. Should be 2 per wheel.
