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.

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.
