Re: Slot lovers unite!
Well, I finally found a set. Actually it was via Ebay but the seller was local. Went out to his place tonight and man, I was in slot mag heaven. At one point he had over 200 wheels. All different sizes, widths, brands, etc. He said that 5 on 5 are the hardest lug pattern to buy and this is the first time in 10 years he has started selling his 5 on 5 patterns.
He had three different sets, two full sets of 15x8.5 and one set of 15x7/15x8.5 combo. Well, the mixed width set came home with me. I was thinking the same size all around but I had issues with 8.5 width rubbing on my last truck. I decided to play it safe and use 15x7 for the front. I am so stoked!!!

Re: Slot lovers unite!
The newstalgia wheel looks a lot more like the old ones than the ARE type. If one wants the classic look those are the way to go.

Wierd how the center hole is so much bigger then needed to be. It's like 4 1/4" and you only need 3 3/4"

As for the center hole, many different 4x4 axles have been used, that use the 6 on 5.5 pattern. Not all of them use the same size center hole because of different parts used in the hub assembly. It was easier to make one size bore, the largest needed by any axle and all the other ones would work. It is not like they are using the bore for hub centric use. They are lug centric so the bore can be bigger. Hope that made sense. Also, if the BS might not be correct on that set, contact him as I know he has a bunch of other ones not listed yet.
