WTB aluminum slots - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HeavyD · 02-09-2005, 12:49 AM

I am still looking for a set of aluminum slot wheels, 15x8 preferred, 5 bolt with no unilug if possible. There must be a set left somewhere??

Edit: If anyone has a set but are unwilling to ship to Canada, I am heading down to Minnesota within a month and they could be shipped there.

You can still buy them new if you can't turn up a set of used ones.

Set or 2 or 4?
Big 5 bolt or small 5 pattern (5x5 or 5x4-3/4)?
I've got a pair of 7's but I think they are 4-3/4 pattern only and a couple pair of 10's but they are unilug.
The 7's are on a friends S-10 thats he's not driving and a set ofthe 10's I "sold" to another "friend" about a year ago but haven't seen any $ yet.
Also have a set of 14x6 small pattern.

HeavyD · 02-09-2005, 02:23 PM

Tx I looked at that site many times and never clicked onto the 2nd page of vintage wheels! Thanks alot. I will have to call them and see what prices are.
4x4, I should have mentioned I need 5 on 5 pattern, 4 of them preferred, but 2 would be better than none.
I am looking for a set that look like the ones these 2 trucks. Hope its Ok if I use these pictures.
Thanks.

**MJN** · 02-09-2005, 06:54 PM

hmmmm, not to hijack the post or anything but how desireable are 6 lug 15x8 or 15x10 slots?

WOW, NOT BAD, IMHO, $525.00 FOR A SET OF 6 LUG 17 X 8 RIMS

HeavyD · 02-09-2005, 08:17 PM

I am considering new ones, but they look shallower than the ones in the pics posted. I like 8 inches wide, but deep looking, like you guys have. There is a guy here that has lots, but he wants $900.00 CAD a set for them. I don't mind paying $$ for good parts, but that seems a little much. I will have to see what the new Ansen slots look like..those pics make them look rather shallow. Anyone who wants to jack the thread feel free..maybe if it stays at the top long enough a set will come up for me

454_72_4X4 · 02-09-2005, 08:30 PM

$900! CAD

What's that convert to US dollars?

HeavyD · 02-09-2005, 08:35 PM

$721 and change.

cleatussnow · 02-09-2005, 09:22 PM

I picked mine up from a buddy. 15 x 10 (6 lug) I really like the look on a 4X4.

I have seen them at Swap Meets here and there, there is a company called AKH do a google search for them. They are in WA and have just about everything. If not you can get on a waiting list for what you are looking for.

Cleatus.

Jesse72 · 02-09-2005, 10:14 PM

I picked up a set with my truck of 6 lug 15x7or8 for a hundred bucks but im not gettin rid of them they are sweet hope u find a nice set

HeavyD · 02-10-2005, 12:54 AM

JDL do you have set for sale?

454_72_4X4 · 02-10-2005, 02:46 AM

Hey Heavy, JDL posted in my "wheels wanted" thread.
Guessing you already seen it though. I'm not interested in slots myself but maybe he has what you're lookin for.
From the pic he posted they look like they might be 8's. Dunno though.

Here's my 10's on the back of the Regal, (might be spoken for though);

HeavyD · 02-10-2005, 04:02 AM

Ya, I sent JDL a pm, and hope he sees it if he wants to sell them. Anyone here know JDL?

454_72_4X4 · 02-10-2005, 04:26 AM

I don't know him but I live about 70 miles from him!

HeavyD · 02-10-2005, 01:41 PM

ttt.

mooneyes · 02-10-2005, 05:38 PM

..they do pop up on ebay once in awhile but sometimes under odd headings..so i always searched for mag wheels, slotted wheels, ansen , fenton...etc

HeavyD · 02-10-2005, 08:06 PM

I will try that as well. The best thing about this site is usually there are pics of the truck with the rims on it, so one can see what the package looks like. Some are shallow dished, while others are deep. Thanks for the tip.

see ten · 02-10-2005, 11:16 PM

I would like to see some pics of the 17" slots that American Racing is making now. I think they would look sweet on my C10 but I would want to see them in person first.

**Richard** · 02-11-2005, 02:12 AM

If you are interested I can see if I can find the receipt for the MT Challengers I purchased some time back. They are like the old slots but with a more modern look. A plus is that they were made by Alcoa and are forged (unlike all the new cast MT wheels) The company I purchased from had bought up all the old stock. I paid under $700 for all 4 15x10 wheels. Finding the center caps was tough though.
