I had been looking for some old school slots and came across an add for "steel 16.5" rims $25" 4 rims for $25! When I went to get them they were aluminum slots painted black. I will need new lug nuts since I currently have the acorn 60 degree ones.

Only way to beat that price would be free! What's the plan, repaint, take 'em back to aluminum, or...... ?

Nice! I dig those old slots. They're getting harder to find anymore.

I am going to take them back to aluminum and mount the 36" swampers on my k5 on them. The slots on my K5 are 8.25" wide and the i think the tires would look better on the 9.75" wide rims. I have never run the "shank" style lug nuts, anything to look out for?

Scrap aluminum as far as I'm concerned. Better make sure to keep at least 50 psi or more in them to prevent the bead from coming off. Happened to me 2 times before I realized I had a very slow leak. Once when it was raining and another in the snow

I bought the shank lug nuts for my 16.5 mags off of Amazon.
