Aluminum Slotted Wheels? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone make the polished slot wheels anymore? American Racing made them about 15 years ago, and Mickey Thompson had the Challenger wheels up until about 4 years ago. I think those style wheels look great on our trucks. I've been looking for them, but nobody has any info.

American Racing still makes them.

I found them for you.

They call them the Ansen Sprint. If you scroll up and down, they are available in a ton of sizes and offests.

American Racing Ansen Sprint wheels do not come in 16 x 9 8 lug. Those wheels look like they are for cars only.

According to the site backspacing is either 4 or 4-1/2 depending on size chosen. These look pretty shallow to me, not like the deep set ones I am used to seeing. If these work for you great, if not then you will have to find a set used, and it can be tough. I have been looking for a few months and still don't have a set.

The next closest wheel I have found with a 16 x 8 or 16 x 10 wheel is a type 50/51 polished wheel by Ultra Wheel. I want to stay with 16's.
