Nice score. Those are my second favorite next to the aluminum slotted rims I've seen on a few of your trucks.
Are those going on the Blazer?

I don't know lol. I just figured for $60 bucks it was a worth while investment for old school 10"s

I'll probably clean them up real good and maybe coat these ones and save em for a rainy day project.

Speaking of your rainy day projects I didn't forget about that TBI set up I promised you. That suburbans been sitting in the corner of my shop being used for storage. When I rip it apart I'll let you know.

Right on Vile. That"s an awsome deal, they look good...  and fitz, I agree with you.
  Just wondering, does anyone have or know anyone with a set of 5 bolt alluminum slots for sale?...   thanks

Does nobody offer a repro of this wheel?  I've seen some similar designs, but never this one.  Why not? >:(

Sweet, I have a set of those in 12" x 16.5" 8 lug.

I've always wanted a set of them for myself. My buddy's got a set one of his pickup and I love 'em. If you consider gettin' rid of them let me know, I'd love to own them.

Well these wheels had some curb rash and gouges so I cleaned them up and filled the gouged areas with epoxy. I sanded them up and painted them. I'll take more pix of the finished product if the rain ever stops.
