Stockton Wheel recently started making these again... Calling them "SLT Muscle Mags"
Pricey, but range of sizes is pretty stellar. Too bad they aren't making any 8-lugs or (many) 6-lugs.

nice... I love those mags... A/R started making them too, but the sizes were to small. Would love to find an old set.
-
American racing has been making them for sevral years now...nothing new, and they make em in 17's. ;D
-
jim.. i didnt know that... last time i checked (a couple years ago) they only made 7-8 inch wide and i need the 10".... 15x10
-
The SLT ones are the only ones I've seen reproduced that actually look like the originals. They have the correct shape slot and contour within.
-
Yeah, I've been looking at the SLT Muscle Mags. They look great! I'm most likely going to get a set before the end of the year.
-
I have them on my 81.
Keep checking craigslist (just not in Mass, thats where I look for them)
I found this set over the summer.
-
Looks great, fitz! Sorry, but I also look around Mass. too, as well as NH. Off topic, but I once found a wicked nice 60's Impala for sale in Haverhill.
-
Hey Fitz, are those the old 16.5's? If so, what is the backspacing on them? And did you blast and paint them, they look clean.
-
I have the 16.5"s on my 85 k20
-
Hey Vile, whats the BS on them? I have a chance to pick up a set of original 16.5's for $600 cad, and would like to know the bs because the seller is too lazy to go out and check. Just for that I will prolly offer him $500 cash.
-
Well it's pitch black out and raining right now and I can't remember what it is off the top of my head so I can't help you right now.
-
327power. I was only kidding about looking in Mass, keep an eye out, they show up from time to time. Sometimes it's easier/cheaper to buy a parts truck with these already on them.
Chevdalade. The rims on my truck were painted with basecoat/clearcoat about 7 years ago. They paint has a few chips but it's held up very well. I will try to measure the backspacing over the weekend.
-
Thanks guys. The ones I have avail to me are the 16.5x9.75 8 bolts.
-
Fitz, I'm glad to see another person from New England on here! I'm still looking around for them old 5-slots. I really don't want the unilug design since they suck in my opinion. I had a really cool set like that, but they always shook wicked bad at all speeds. Especially around 40 mph...I thought they were going to vibrate right off the truck! Maybe 'cause they don't mount perfectly centered? Who knows. Just avoid them.
Thanks.

Dang, Here's a sweet deal for one of you 2WD guys...

-
That won't work 2wd version is 5x5
-
I found a set of these for sale today. 2-15x8 and 2-15x10 They are 5 0n 5 bolt pattern with almost new tires. The guy wants $300.00 for all. They are powder coated black so I'd have to have them blasted to be correct. Would the temp of powder coat curing hurt the aluminum? What do you think of the price?
-
Got Pix? Powder coated black with the slots painted to match your truck would look slick
-
I'm going to go get one of the fronts tomorrow and see if the backspacing works with my truck, I'll take a picture then. I'll post it so you guys can check it out. I'm thinking $300 including tires is OK.
-
yeah, see if he has center caps too
