Not to hijack.. but where can I buy center caps or what is available? These wheels are on craigslist and had the center milled out to fit over the 4x4 hub but I am sure I could cover it with a center cap.

Re: Slot lovers unite!

Here are pictures of my 15x8.5 5 lug slots. I found center caps at my local tire shop. He took the measurements and was able to order them in.

I found a pair of 16.5x8 and 16.5x10 5x5 lug slots at swap meet once and almost bought them by accident. Good think I looked on the back to see what size they were. Just think what buying tires for that would be like.

Re: Slot lovers unite!

As Rene documents the slots are a natural for our trucks. I had a set of ET IV polished slots on my first truck. 15x8 &10 Great looks.

I just acquired a 72 lwb, and am in the dreaming stages, right now.
It's a stock, rust bucket, running, project, and I'm trying to get some ideas on how I want the finish product to be...

I like the stance on this one, the best...
What size wheels / tires are you running?
What's the specs on your suspension?
I'd like to check out a build thread, if you have one, if that'll answer my questions, easier.
Thank you in advance.
