The link below will lead to another 70's slot wheel, that some may
be interested in for our trucks. They are available in 15, 16 and 17 inch sizes.

I'm not sure if you're aware, but Ansen Sprints are also available through American Racing and also up to 17's.

The ansen isn't as deep dished as the old slots. I really wanted some slots in 17" but they just didn't look right to me.

JAKES 68GMC · 08-16-2006, 09:10 PM

Too rich for my blood. They look cool though.

I have a set of these on my new 1970 truck. I don't know if I like them yet. They are six lug and chevy on the hub.

**special-K** · 08-17-2006, 07:00 AM

These are only available in 5-lug.They look nice.The slots aren`t kidney shaped like the original style.I like,though.
What,no 10"?Boo!

**Boog** · 08-17-2006, 09:28 AM

LoBurb. The slots shown in this link are Ansen Sprints sold by American Racing. They are available in 15, 16 & 17" diameters.
I agree the large diameter slots don't look right. My first slots were ET wheels. 8 and 10" on an old truck. Polished finish. Loved them but really had to stay after them to keep the spots and stains off.

Boog, these are not listed as American Racing, they are called SLT muscle mags, whatever that means. The Ansens are listed with the American Racing and look a little different to these.

HeavyD · 08-18-2006, 01:14 AM

The Ansen slots look quite a bit different than these IMO. These SLT's are available with an offset that makes them look "deep" like the originals..very nice. Can't wait to see a set on a 67-72.

We used to call those 'Jellybean Mags'! Anyone have them in 8 lug anymore?

Yes. That is correct ChevyBill.

**special-K** · 08-18-2006, 07:14 AM

They`re sold.No one makes the 8-lugs these days.IMO,they looked (look) the best in 16.5/8-lug.A handsome wheel for a tough truck.
