Slot Mags
« on: March 03, 2018, 01:36:42 pm »
Hello Chevy truck people, I have a 1977 Chevy k10 4x4 and i'm thinking about getting a set of the new slot mags made by U.S. Mags. I have never seen a truck with them before and was wondering if anyone here has bought them. I would like to have some of the old school ones but my dad said it would be hard to find some today that aren't pitted and have the same bolt pattern since there are ones for Ford too. Thanks for reading!

New ones would be the better option.
They use tapered nuts also rather than shanked nuts with the old ones. Some old ones are uni lug.

I have the old school  slots, hard to come by if you need a replacement and are pricey.

I like the look. Mine are 15x10.

If I were going to buy a set, i would buy the US mags http://www.mhtwheels.com/indy-u101-truck-w-5493.htm and I almost did but I also have them on other vehicles and didn't want to be the guy that has slots on every one of his trucks. They are the nicest most accurate looking ones you can get.
