Steel slot 15" wheels?

Steel slot 15" wheels? - 12/27/17 06:13 PM

I have this 39 Dodge truck project I'm working on, and I think I would like to put the old school 15" chrome steel slots on it (like the rear wheel in this picture). I've been looking through the Summit wish book and a few other sources but have not found any. I suspect they are just not popular these days.
I have a pair that are a little rough, with rust pits near the joint of the wheel center and the rim. I would like to find a set of 2 or 4 that are in better shape then the ones I have that won't break the bank.
Do any of you guys know where a source for the chrome slots might be? Thanks, Gene

Had a factory set that came on an 84 d150 marksman. I believe they were optional on trucks and vans up until 85. Best bet would be to keep checking junkyards or truck forums. They’re aren’t many around anymore. Wish I would’ve kept the ones I had on the marksman before it went to scrap.

Check Craigslist. I found a pair in the DFW area for $75.

That is kind of what I expected I was going to hear. I probably should mention that I need the 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern, and probably a 15" x 6", 7" or maybe up to an 8" wide wheel, backspacing isn't much of an issue. I really don't want the dual pattern wheels if I can avoid it. I'll look on Craig's list. Thanks guys. Gene

Not at all what we are looking for.

We are talking about the chrome steel wheel designed to look like a five slot aluminum wheel.

You knew that right?

I haven't looked too hard but I can't find them new.
Except for the ones linked above and they are crazy expensive for what they are.
Although, given the current economy I guess they are in line with other similar products.

Duster2 may have me hooked up! That was much faster then I thought it was going to take. Gene
