Slotted Wheels! What do you think?
Just finished 1 wheel and put it on to see how it looked. Think I'll do the rest of them now. Not too bad for being really old!

Good lookin! Slots used to be like belly buttons. Everybody had em. For some reason some people think they went out of style, but to me a 73-87 still looks good on slots!

Yup. With the technology to make all of these silly tennis shoe lookin' wheels, I don't understand why we can't get a set of slots in any size other than 15". If you could, there would be a set on my crew post haste.

Man, I miss this truck.

Re: Slotted Wheels! What do you think?
They're probably 16.5"s which means basically little to no tire options unless you are looking for mudders.

Re: Slotted Wheels! What do you think?
I keep getting an error message when I try to look at the wheels themselves. The description says 4 lug. The regular Indy wheels is only 15".

I have Ridlers on the truck now that have about 75 feet of distance on them. I would pull them and sell them in a heartbeat if the US Mags were reasonably priced.

Looks like their site isn't big on direct links.

Anyway, go to their site, hover over "Wheels" to open their menu, and select "Vintage Billet". On the "Vintage Billet" page, they're on the 4th row down. Indy - U433. Says they come in soft lip 17x7 to 26x10 and traditional lip 15x4 to 20x9.5
