Has anyone seen these wheels on a truck of our years? They remind me of the older slots. Got any pics.
Thanks Bowtie

I just bought a new in the box set of 16 x 8 ,8 lug Challengers off ebay for my 2003 GMC, but I might put them on my 72 3/4t instead?? I dont have a pic right now, there still in the boxes. They are cool looking wheels. They don't make them any more for some reason?

No interest in selling them, they are still on my truck. I take them off evey winter to keep them in perfect condition

M/T aluminum wheels are (were) sold by ALCOA. When I worked for ALCOA, I thought about it, but not cheap.

They always stop making the good looking wheels for some odd reason. Weld used to make some nice ones,too...Sidewinders ad Outbacks. All these newfangled notched up nook and cranny wheels are just plan dumb IMO. Not to mention about impossible to keep clean

I agree these new crazy design wheels are ugly. I like simple looking wheels. These Challenger wheels almost look factory on my truck, just wider. And they also remind me of slotted mags

Some stuff is just timeless. Looked great then, look great now. Other stuff is just destined for the scrap heap. I agree with Tim and Joe.

The factory centers really set them off nice. Definitely a factory lookin' look.
