Slots look perfect… - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**68350** · 07-20-2021, 04:53 PM

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

**special-K** · 07-20-2021, 05:22 PM

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.

**68350** · 07-20-2021, 06:02 PM

I believe theyre 9.75s so yes 10 lol. Center caps never crossed my mind!

**Ironhorse** · 07-20-2021, 06:05 PM

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.

**Boog** · 07-20-2021, 06:18 PM

Super!

**YellowK5** · 07-20-2021, 07:33 PM

Super cool..time to find some mud!

I thought I was the only one who liked them better without center caps.

67C10Step · 07-20-2021, 10:32 PM

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

57taskforce · 07-21-2021, 12:05 AM

Love it!

**Richard** · 07-21-2021, 02:02 AM

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.

1moretruck · 07-21-2021, 03:20 AM

I also like the slots i have them on 3 of my 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"

yuccales · 07-21-2021, 08:09 AM

Wheels look great!

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-21-2021, 08:45 AM

They look great to me.

**70cst** · 07-21-2021, 11:35 AM

Agreed ... very nice

**dagnabbitt** · 07-21-2021, 11:42 AM

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?

CG · 07-21-2021, 04:58 PM

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.

LT7A · 07-23-2021, 04:59 PM

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.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 07-23-2021, 05:04 PM

Gotta Love um. Perfect on that truck

k29349 · 07-23-2021, 06:28 PM

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.

**Wikid61** · 07-23-2021, 06:54 PM

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.

67swb72klb · 07-23-2021, 08:05 PM

Slots are the best!!
I just scored a set for my 67 but they are not matched 7's and 8.5's the 5 on 5 sets are getting tough to find

**Stocker** · 07-23-2021, 10:44 PM

Definitely period correct for these trucks.... a timeless look that will never go out of style.

custom10nut · 07-24-2021, 03:48 AM

Absolutely!
Get on EBay to get some Old School center caps.
I went with Bullet style on mine

Old_Gold · 07-24-2021, 12:12 PM

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?
