Jonboy, Clifford looked oh so good with the slots. I think we need to kick Brandon somewhere not nice!

I have Ridlers on the truck now that have about 75 feet of distance on them. I would pull them and sell them in a heartbeat if the US Mags were reasonably priced.
Looks like their site isn't big on direct links.

Anyway, go to their site, hover over "Wheels" to open their menu, and select "Vintage Billet". On the "Vintage Billet" page, they're on the 4th row down. Indy - U433. Says they come in soft lip 17x7 to 26x10 and traditional lip 15x4 to 20x9.5

Re: Slotted Wheels! What do you think?

They're probably 16.5"s which means basically little to no tire options unless you are looking for mudders.

Re: Slotted Wheels! What do you think?

STA sells super traxions for 16.5s - they are bias ply, not radials. if old school works for you, they're a great option. Firestone also makes the TransForce AT - it's on/off road, but not very aggressive. STA super traxion is a very aggressive tread.

I don't believe Firestone makes any 16.5 radials anymore
