Slot mags question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found a set of 16.5 5x5 slot mags just wondering how rare are these set of wheels are?

Rare. I had a set of wide steelies in 16.5. Back before radials the only wide tire rated for loads/suitable for trucks were 16.5s

Thanks I figured that I had never seen a set before. Problem is there is only three.

Yeah, they are totally cool for what they are yet not much use for them now, especially with only 3. I like using cool old wheels to hang the garden hose.

I have a pair of those wheels, weird they are 5 on 5 in a 16.5.

American Racing (ansen) made a 17x9 wheel in 8x6.5 but they were recently discontinued. If you do some legwork you may be able to find some still in stock. There is a guy on ebay advertising a set but when I e-mailed him he said he was out. That was 2 weeks ago but the listing is still up. Also be careful because AR is still making them in 8x170mm for new fords.

The correct part number is VNA697982
