I am pretty sure your wheels are the brand "Western Wheel"

pulltilbroke · 03-28-2011, 03:34 AM

Figured I'd dig this one back up.

15x7/15x8.5

16.5x8.25

Now I gotta figure out which set to use.

bobs409 · 03-28-2011, 07:07 AM

An old thread but I'll toss my old slots into the mix.

When I bought the truck, it had the jeep slots on front and back. The only problem with those is the are all one size, 15 X 7 and not deep dish.

I graduated to what is shown below. Got the front ones at a swap meet with tires for $80. Those are 15 X 8 and the back ones I got from a member on this board for $120 and those are 15 X 10 deep dish. (all 6 lug)

I never did find the time to polish them so they are what they are in the pic.

Now I'm looking for some for my 71 C20.

oldblue1968chevy · 03-28-2011, 06:55 PM

I have skinnies I WANNA set of deeps for the rear at least, people are kinda proud of em (found 2 for like 150$ locally)

cheyenne shortstep · 03-29-2011, 10:17 PM

Slots are where it's at. My '72 Cheyenne has been wearing this set since the '70's, they were a huge bonus to me as slots are definitely my favorite wheel. When I got the truck the wheels had been seriously neglected for years, I had to scrub and sand the s%#t out of 'em. I think it's time for a polish and new spinners.

71stub · 04-13-2011, 02:22 AM

Cheyenneshortstep what width wheels are you running and what tire sizes? I have 15x10s for the rear of my shortfleet and 15x8.5s for the front. How much of a drop do you have too? I can't wait to get my slots on my 71. Thanks

**thelonerife** · 11-08-2011, 02:40 AM

I know this is an old thread but I just picked up some 15x7s for 90.00. They had never been cleaned ever I think. The two fronts were black like the one in the pic. I did a 320 wet sand on them and will step up grits. the rears were not too bad but all have the machined lines on them that I want to get rid of. I'll work on these in my spare time. They're unilug too.

hotrodhomi · 11-08-2011, 03:07 AM

I had them on my truck that was stolen.

doubleb's69 · 11-08-2011, 08:00 PM

Everyone forgot the Dazed and Confused truck. I would love to build one just like it.

glljr · 11-08-2011, 08:09 PM

I read the title wrong I got excited for a minute till I saw the pictures, sorry.

gottattooz · 11-08-2011, 08:18 PM

I love 5 slot mags. I"ve got 4 sets. The set on my 68 I pulled from a junkyard about 3 years before even owning the truck, or even having a vehicle with 6 lugs. My mom had a 69 Impala with 14X6 front and 15X10 rear 5 slot mags. When the wife and I go to swap meets, I"ll drool over a pair for sale until my wife reminds me that I have 4 sets already.

Hey, so has anyone bolted them on their truck and used the engine to turn them while they sand them?

I have a couple old Daisy rims I'm gonna use to hold my air hoses and long extension cords but I weant to make them look good again.

Yeah, I know it might be dangerous but I will try to hold the sandpaper in such a way that if anything snags it, it pulls the paper out of my hand instead of pulling my hand off!

71stub · 12-21-2011, 03:51 PM

That sounds like a brilliant idea!!!

BluTrukker · 12-21-2011, 04:43 PM

I set mine on a round shop stool that spins, and stuck a brass drift in one of the lug holes to spin it and held the sandpaper in my other hand. It worked awesome, kinda like a pottery wheel.

69sixpackbee · 12-21-2011, 06:25 PM

Not quite my truck but slots none the less
