Now I gotta figure out which set to use.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

An old thread but I'll toss my old slots into the mix.

When I bought the truck, it had the jeep slots on front and back. The only problem with those is the are all one size, 15 X 7 and not deep dish.

I graduated to what is shown below. Got the front ones at a swap meet with tires for $80. Those are 15 X 8 and the back ones I got from a member on this board for $120 and those are 15 X 10 deep dish. (all 6 lug)

I never did find the time to polish them so they are what they are in the pic. :lol:


Now I'm looking for some for my 71 C20. :metal:

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I have skinnies I WANNA set of deeps for the rear at least, people are kinda proud of em (found 2 for like 150$ locally)

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Slots are where it's at. My '72 Cheyenne has been wearing this set since the '70's, they were a huge bonus to me as slots are definitely my favorite wheel. When I got the truck the wheels had been seriously neglected for years, I had to scrub and sand the s%#t out of 'em. I think it's time for a polish and new spinners.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Cheyenneshortstep what width wheels are you running and what tire sizes? I have 15x10s for the rear of my shortfleet and 15x8.5s for the front. How much of a drop do you have too? I can't wait to get my slots on my 71. Thanks

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I know this is an old thread but I just picked up some 15x7s for 90.00. They had never been cleaned ever I think. The two fronts were black like the one in the pic. I did a 320 wet sand on them and will step up grits. the rears were not too bad but all have the machined lines on them that I want to get rid of. I'll work on these in my spare time. They're unilug too.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I had them on my truck that was stolen.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Everyone forgot the Dazed and Confused truck. I would love to build one just like it.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I read the title wrong I got excited for a minute till I saw the pictures, sorry.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I love 5 slot mags. I"ve got 4 sets. The set on my 68 I pulled from a junkyard about 3 years before even owning the truck, or even having a vehicle with 6 lugs. My mom had a 69 Impala with 14X6 front and 15X10 rear 5 slot mags. When the wife and I go to swap meets, I"ll drool over a pair for sale until my wife reminds me that I have 4 sets already.

Dont forget me!

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

:haha::haha::haha:

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Still searching for a set of 15x8 slots for my 74 C-10...(5 on 5 pattern) if youze' guys have any leads.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Hey, so has anyone bolted them on their truck and used the engine to turn them while they sand them?

I have a couple old Daisy rims I'm gonna use to hold my air hoses and long extension cords but I weant to make them look good again.

Yeah, I know it might be dangerous but I will try to hold the sandpaper in such a way that if anything snags it, it pulls the paper out of my hand instead of pulling my hand off!

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

That sounds like a brilliant idea!!!

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I set mine on a round shop stool that spins, and stuck a brass drift in one of the lug holes to spin it and held the sandpaper in my other hand. It worked awesome, kinda like a pottery wheel.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Not quite my truck but slots none the less :)

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

That truck is just awesome, I dont know what it is about but I love it. Also, thats a great movie too. There are alot of cool cars/trucks in that movie.

Re: Slot lovers unite!

Re: Slot lovers unite!

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

That is a perfect example of that time period, and it still looks cool 40 years later.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

so your looking for one like the one i bought for 650.00

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I love my slots!I spent three years trying to buy them from a guy who had them on a 76 big 10.Every time I saw him I would offer to buy the slots.He got the truck and the slots from his aunt and did not want to part with them.My last standing offer was $200 plus a trade with a clean set of outlaw 2's,I would do all the jack work and have his tire mount and balance .He still said "NO".I ran into him at a mutual friends house and he informed that he had sold the truck and slots along with it that day!

I made him give me the phone number of the guy he sold the truck to.I called and explained the story and made the same offer to the new owner.He said it didn't make much difference to him and we struck a deal.I now have a very nice clean set of deep dish slots and their beautiful.I love the way the look on our trucks.Also,because of the deep backset it made my track width wider and improved handling;)These are period correct and set the truck off.ALL HAIL SLOTS:chevy:

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I don't have any pics and it's probably a good thing since they were on another brand of truck haha but my first truck had slots on it and I loved them.....wish I would have kept them when I got rid of it looking back on it.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I bought them at Pep Boys. I think they were western wheels brand. It's been a few years so I could be wrong. The mounting holes didn't line up. I had to drill new ones.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Running 15x10 slots w/295/50R15 tires on the back of my ’72. Running 14x6 ET V wheels up front with some 215/75R14.

I had machine shop that makes hot rod parts build some flat caps for them. Here is his info http://stores.ebay.com/Dashmans-Hot-...id=p4340.l2563

The wheels already had holes drilled with 2-7/16” centers, think these are a somewhat common pattern because I have had another set with this bigger 5 bolt cap before. The bolt pattern is bigger because the wheels have a center hub hole of 3.75 so a wider bc is required for the caps.

Re: Slot lovers unite!

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Slots! 15x7.5 with 235/60r15 and 15x10 with 295/50r15 on my 74 step. Last pic I test fitted on a 315/60r15 drag radial.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I picked these up yesterday for my '66. As soon as I find a place to refurbish them (minor curb rash), I'll mount my T/A's on them and be rolling "old school".

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I've had sets on a number of trucks, they always look good. I currently have a set of 16.5 on my 01 hd, and a set of 16.5 6 lug in the shed. I didn't know they made these in 15x10 8 lug until this thread, I would love to find a set of those. Anyone know if they made an 8 lug 15 any wider than 10?
