Re: Wheel vintiques 16x8
These wheels have been around a while now. Price is reasonable. I was paying $75-ish for wide 16.5s in the '80s when you could buy slots for $90-ish. Most guys wanted to add shiny for their money. With sandblasting, powder coating and caps it was $550-ish vs $360-ish for slots. But, by the '80s slots weren't popular. It was turbines, then Outlaws. Painted and chrome steel wheels were even cheaper.
I've figured I'll get some once I'm done with 16.5s. I had sold a new 6" lift and freshly powder coated (white) 8.25s with 37/12.50-16.5 Swampers to switch to 285/75s and 16 x 8s. I needed the money for other things, but I have the set of 16.5 aluminum slots with good BFG A/Ts to roll. I like to have a set of road and off road.
