Scored a set of Slots today. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just picked these up. 6 16.5 8 lug slot wheels. 2 with nice studded tires. there is 4 matching wheels, and 2 with a bit more offset.

Get em all for $100 not bad i dont think. Should shine up and look great on "Rusty". Guy said he is glad i called, was getting ready to take them in for scrap!

Nice score I hope you have some tires, 16.5 are getting hard to find

**nitrosport_5** · 01-19-2013, 10:26 PM

Ive got 2 sets of 35x12.5x16.5 AT tires and 1 set of 35x12.5x16.5 BFG Mud terrains. You can still buy the 35x12.5x16.5 BFG All Terrain tires new.

Haha I dont have a need for those. Although i would possibly trade the 4 wheels that arent as wide for 2 wide ones to match the 2 ive got.

daves72C10D · 01-20-2013, 09:36 AM

Yea, you did real good on the price.

I have two that are wide I might be able to do that trade.

**nitrosport_5** · 01-20-2013, 06:09 PM

I just measured them, the 4 are 16.5x8.25(stamped on the back) and the other 2 are 16.5 with looks about 9.5 from inside bead to inside bead.

Well that is too bad. The only other wheels I have are a set of Western aluminum spoke wheels with the hub caps but they are 16.5x8.5~. Plus I just don't think they are heavy enough for a 4x4 on 35s like you are talking.

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 01-20-2013, 06:44 PM

I did not realize slots where popular. I've got a set on a parts 68 i was gonna toss.

69GWC · 01-20-2013, 06:48 PM

Oh dont do that..lol

I looked for some 6 luggers for my 69 for awhile then finally gave up and bought the wheels I have now.

Thats so sharp.....I love the dated look that those wheels bring out

One of my favorites is "Special K's" ochre/white camper special with the slots...that truck looks like it came out of a time capsule

Good eye. Period correct was my exact intention when I did what I did to that truck...25 years ago in 1988!! I did what a sick C/20 would have in '71: slots,wider rear wheels & tires,tonneau cover. I had a set of 9.75s on a medium olive '71 K/20,too. Got a set on the shelf for my GMC now (w/ 12.50/35s)

bigguy69 · 01-20-2013, 10:32 PM

I would like to have a set slots! I love the look!

I've got a set of "turbines" on my 70 step, wanting a set of slots for my other one. My buddy has a set on his 60 Apache that I've been trying to talk him out of.
