: Looking for aluminum slot rims Tom S Apr 22nd, 05, 9:15 PM I was wondering if any company sells aluminum slots that look like the ones from the '70s. All the ones the ones I see have a raised ridge around the 'window'. The ones I had on my old Chevelle were Cragar's and I also had a set of E/T. Now I can't find a set from either company that look loke what I had. Any help would be appreciated Tom S daveseitz Apr 22nd, 05, 10:16 PM Look at late 70s Corvettes, I have a set of rims that are as you describe with the slot look. I think these were off a 79 or 80 Vette coworker had and I got stuck with. Nova295 Apr 22nd, 05, 11:46 PM Not sure if this is what you're looking for but american racing is reproducing the Ansen Sprints http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/details.asp?wheelid=170&name=Ansen® Sprint&style=A69&desc=1-piece painted / machined alloy§ion=V hxturbo Apr 23rd, 05, 12:55 AM Look at etwheels.com Rick Tucker Apr 23rd, 05, 1:15 AM No, I know what you mean about the raised edges around the windows, like a Billet Specialties Legacy. ET does repop the old drag style slots, but it has that ridge. I've haven't seen the "smooth" style repopped. Yet. Funny, I look at used wheels on Ebay periodicly and hardly ever see the smooth slots for sale. Where did they all go? smittyocat Apr 23rd, 05, 1:24 AM like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43955&item=7969489980&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Rick Tucker Apr 23rd, 05, 1:28 AM There ya go! And if you've got a Maverick, those will fit right on there:) Tom S Apr 23rd, 05, 6:50 AM Joe, Those ebay rims are the one I am looking for. Did people stop buying them, causing the wheel companies to stop making them? The closest I found was the American Racing Aspen, but they only come in 7" and 8" wide and have an indent around the window. Tom snydes Apr 23rd, 05, 9:15 AM If you can't find a new version that suits, you can give these guys a call http://www.akhwheels.com If they don't have it, nobody will. Rick Tucker Apr 23rd, 05, 11:39 AM WOW, cool site.
