Problem is they cost a fortune - 16x8 = $875/ea, 17x8 = $700/ea. As usual, no 8 lug pics to be found anywhere, but heres a 5 lugger with the larger 4.5" center bore for perspective. Nice looking wheel though..

There is a website that specializes in classic used wheels with a set of 16x8.5 original slot wheels that have been restored in 8 lug for "Only" $2600
