17" slot mag wheels!

Just got my new wheels and tires installed. U.S. Mag 17X9.5 with 3.5" backspace, polished aluminum. Got 'em for $800 shipped full set including lug nuts and center caps off of eBay from a great seller. They look great, have a nice deep dish. Glad to see slot mags in 17" sizes now, really glad I found these!

Tires are BFG All-Terrain T/A KO2 35X12.5 R17. I love the look with the slot mags and white letters out! The tires I replaced were 12 years old and rode terrible. Truck rides so much better and much more quiet, I can hear the engine and radio now on the highway lol.


Here is a before shot:

Got e'm from ronsrims1. He didn't have any pics of the 17" slots on a vehicle, so I sent him a few pics and said he was welcome to use them in his auction - and it looks like he did lol! If you decide to buy some, make sure to message him and he will throw in the lugnuts and centercaps at no extra charge. I must have asked this guy 10 questions about the wheels over the last several months, and he quickly answered all of them. They also have the wheel in 15" with nice backspacing/deep dish. The 17" are blank and they will make them to whatever bolt pattern. He said it would take 2 weeks, but I got them in about 8 days.

The wheels look awesome on your truck.

I wish they made them in 8 lug.

Re: 17" slot mag wheels!

If they are blank, I was wondering if they could drill them in 8 lug. No one wants to make a tire smaller than a 37 in a 16.5.

I am so happy they are making the Indy that I will end up purchasing a vehicle just to run them!

Re: 17" slot mag wheels!

Looks like someone asked the seller a question about making an 8 lug. Check out the bottom of the auction. Looks like 6 lug is max as the seller states the center pad is not big enough for 8 lug.
