A few days after the last post I know, but here's a place to get these wheels.

www.akhwheels.com

I'm not affiliated with these guys, but I have bought a set of 5 for my '71 Bronco. They buy up all sorts of old wheels and restore them. They are so particular that they wont mix and match a set that wasn't polished with the same compound as the reflection won't be the same.

Hey Rat Rod
What size are your tires and it looks like you have no drop?
I just picked up a set of 15x8 slots with 235 60R15's on the front and they look small on there with a a lot of wheel opening

i'd like to find some slots for my 91 pickup.do they sell them for that year?

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

You're kidding, right?

There are slot mags for EVERY year. I'm surprised we've never seen a stock Model T with them (now watch, someone HAS a picture of a stock Model T with them and will post it;)

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

If I am not mistaken, wheels on Chevy trucks are fairly standard in sizing and backspacing. The main variant is the number of lugs.

Kurt, you will do well to choose a size of wheel, and measure lug spacing first. Then search boneyards, ebay, craigslist, pennysaver, etc. Slot-mags are out of of production these days, but they were very common years ago. Pricing for a set in good condition will be less than most new sets of steelies.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

While CL, ebay and others are a good source for used wheels new slots are still available at for instance Summit Racing. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ARE-A695765/ and

http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/wheel...ubcat3=1101101 for examples.

I think there are others still offering them too.

Alright slot lovers, help me out here: I have 4 slots for my C20. Now, I only have 8 lug nuts and I need 24 more. I've checked the local tire\wheel shop and auto parts store, and they don't have lug nuts for me. What type of lug nuts do I need? I'll probably have to order them from somewhere.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I've got the remakes on my '71 SG

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

The only way to go... 8 lug 16.5 inch

pmpski 1: I had really good help from Sheila at Massey Accessory Shop in OK. (405) 239-2010. Best bet is to carefully measure the depth and diameter of holes and be ready to give her as much info about the wheel as you have. Mine are on a 70 c20 suburban. Got something called a 1/2 inch Duplex Mag Part No. 75187B. Probably a Gorilla product. THink they're like 2 1/2 inches long. 1/2 inch thread. 1 inch in the wheel hole and 1 1/2 outside. Don't forget the washers.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

For the old slots om my 69, I bought
7/16 x 3/4 long shaft lug nuts from Auto Zone but they were like a $1.00 a piece

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

A plain ol tire store might not carry lug nuts but a custom wheel n tire shop will and can get you most anything you need to mount your new wheels.

Ansen Sprint 6 Lugs with original caps...Rare Antique earrings for a beautiful truck. Get them if you can find them...

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Hey I remember that one. You're taking good care of it Dr.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

I like it! :metal:

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

This is what the Ansen Sprints looked like when I first saw them. The gentleman said I could have them if I wanted them. I could not believe it. About 2 hours of labor each with a powerball and some new shoes:gmc2:.

Re: Slot lovers unite!
 

Well I like the wheels and the truck too. Mine is a 72 SierraGrande, that's olive green and white 2 tone. Yours looks alot better. :lol:
