Slots look perfect…
Ive been holding onto these 15” slots for a while waiting to put them on. Got some new BfG’s installed today and had them mounted. I think they look perfect on this truck. Need to polish them up some still

Re: Slots look perfect…
Yes sir. The best! I like them dull like that as much (or more) as polished. And wide. Are those 10"? They don't need no stinkin' center caps either.

Re: Slots look perfect…
Love the look of those old school slots. Had a similar set on a '65 Impala SS with a 300/327 4 speed combo. Boy I regret selling that car years ago. Those look great just as they are, I'm with Tim, dull with no center caps.

Re: Slots look perfect…
4x4 stepper with slots? I’d drive that every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Looks great as is.

Re: Slots look perfect…
Looks sweet! Have a set of US Mags 17x10's going on my truck when finished. Have a brand new set of 15x10 MT Challengers (slot mag ish) I was saving and going to use until I went 8 lug. Love the slot mags on these trucks.

Oh yeah, 16.5s and their funny widths. "Hold on there Jake. Boss said come just shy of the whole number or a bit less with these 16.5s"

Re: Slots look perfect…
Super cool slots, I like them unpolished myself.
Yours appear to be the "kidney bean" shape, which is classic. Who is the manufacturer of those things?

Re: Slots look perfect…
Thats a nice looking stepper, I say polish em up. I like em like they are but my personal tastes are polished. No caps is no problem.

Re: Slots look perfect…
Cool truck and the wheels look good. The word patina gets used a lot, but I think that it originates with a surface like your wheels that has some oxidation. I like to use Griot's metal cleaner for things that I want to have clean but not necessarily polished. It does a little cleaning and adds just a little sheen. Does a nice job on carburetors when you don't want to use carb cleaner on the outside and wash all the coloring off. It also leaves a bit of a protective film.

Re: Slots look perfect…
Anybody have any pics of some that have been powder coated light machine grey or off white? I've been thinking of doing a set I have that are in pretty rough shape.

Re: Slots look perfect…
The the satin (the OG was machined raw) look 1st: Strong acid cleaner & SCOTCH BRITE & gloves. Rinse them plenty & wait 'till they dry to see f they need more love. GREEN Scotch brite may do. but RED will really cut. Etching primer & semi gloss black for the slot windows.

Re: Slots look perfect…
Love the slots, pulled the center caps out, because mine were terrible!
Thinking about painting the hubs... red. Anyone done a offset color on theirs? Jim |
