Thanks for the compliments... You should have seen the rusty white spokes that WERE on it. I should have a pic somewhere of that.

Those new slots are not like the old ones. The old style have a "deep dish" look to them, while the new ones are quite shallow. American Racing offers one backspacing option that creates the "shallow look". This is fine if that is the look you want, but they don't look like the stuff from the 70's. I think slots look really good on these trucks, especially if they have a fairly stock looking exterior. Gives the truck sort of a "day after" appearance. Good job on making them shine, Eric!
