Just finished 1 wheel and put it on to see how it looked. Think I'll do the rest of them now. Not too bad for being really old!

pwradder · 06-19-2014, 07:05 PM

bigblock73 · 06-19-2014, 09:39 PM

Easily my favorite wheels! I have loved these since I first got in to cars/trucks.

805stickies · 06-19-2014, 10:25 PM

Very nice

kalbert · 06-19-2014, 10:30 PM

Good lookin! Slots used to be like belly buttons. Everybody had em. For some reason some people think they went out of style, but to me a 73-87 still looks good on slots!

Malo83 · 06-19-2014, 10:43 PM

Classic look

still available

Yup. With the technology to make all of these silly tennis shoe lookin' wheels, I don't understand why we can't get a set of slots in any size other than 15". If you could, there would be a set on my crew post haste.

Man, I miss this truck.

I keep getting an error message when I try to look at the wheels themselves. The description says 4 lug. The regular Indy wheels is only 15".

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.

liftlawssuck · 06-20-2014, 10:24 AM

My wife (then girlfriend) got these for me for birthday present. I had always liked them and I knew someone who was selling a set for 100.00. She ended up getting them and I had them in my garage for over 20 years. Never thought I would use them but couldn't get rid of them. Then I started redoing my truck again and wanted new wheels. Nothing out there now looks good to me. The I remembered these. I didn't want the hassle of polishing aluminum all the time. Bad enough with a polished plane I restored years ago. So I blasted them and painted them silver. I painted the insides of the slots green to match the truck. They aren't perfect as the beads are pretty banged up from wheeling years ago. But for what I have into them. I couldn't even buy 1 new wheel. Plus I love the old school look. My nephews and there friends think I super old for having them and make fun of me for not having a diesel!

Low Elco · 06-20-2014, 10:30 AM

Love 'em!

Those Starsky slots look cool. There's an early square in my town with them on it. Looks totally 1970s. GTT

I picked up a set of 6 lug slotted wheels for 100 bucks off craigslist the other day.
they have the larger hub bore for the fronts should clean up decent with some elbow grease.
