Bought a set of 15x9 Indy slots. They are unilug so Im in search for vendor that sells them. Anyone know of a source. Tried Summit but they need a part number off the wheel. Cleaned both wheels up and no part number to be found

What does undiluted mean, spell check error?

I ordered mine from Summit in their online catalog.

Here's what I have on my keystones.

Those don't look like factory made uni-lug wheels to me. The ones I have seen have a spot face machined for the oval washers under the nuts twocents

I was wondering about that too.
The center section looks odd to me too.
Figured maybe the picture was distorted, just like the word uni-lug was undiluted.
Cell phone type thing. shruggy

What you have are not unilug. They just look wallowed out. . https://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-sl...-rod-Hot-Gasser-Ford-Chevy/202649910082?

That wheel looks like someone took a Mopar/Ford 4.5 pattern out to GM 4.75, which also uses 7/16" instead of 1/2" studs; looks to me like the modified ID is smaller than the original.

I worked in the tire and wheel business in the mid 70's. There was an Ansen knockoff wheel that had oval slots for the lugs. It used standard shank type lugs and washers, not Uni-lug. If the lug holes are nicely formed ovals from the center outward these are the ones. Ansen Sprint II used round Uni-lug washers and were polished. ET IV used oval Uni-lug washers and were polished. Ansen Sprint I and Fenton were not Uni- lug, and machine finished. What brand is cast into the back of the wheel. My bet is they are 8 1/2" wide. Measure between the beads, not outside.

The aftermarket wheels that came on my 70 D100 have slotted lug holes on a flat surface. They used shank style lug nuts without oval washers.

I’ve cleaned and scuffled the back of the wheels and can’t find either the brand or part number. The stamping on the back of the wheels are 15x8.5.

Can you supply a better picture?
The wheel does not look round.
The center looks oval as well.
The bolt holes, 3 look oval and two look round.
They also appear to be wallowed out, as mentioned.
If so, the point is moot. They would be junk.

Agreed, standard hub centric aftermarket rims with either 4.5-4.75 BC or 4.75-5.00 BC oval slots, OP needs shank type lugs and washers not uni lug

OP might even need hub centric adapter rings depending on the center bore?

Yes, they are hub centric. Here’s another view

I have two other wheels just like this pair.

Actually, it’s pretty obvious what happened is someone used conical lug nuts on the wheels instead of mag style.

I would just use the correct nuts now, they’ll be fine as far as the damage.

I don't think so. It looks like the wheels were used on a 4 /2" bolt circle. Therefore the washers would have only come to the outside of the oval hole. The telling tail would be a picture from the back side and see if the lug holes were truly machined into an oval shape.

I agree that the backside would tell. To me, on my ipad, they look like a unilug oval. I’m not a fan, but if that’s the case then the damage on the other side doesn’t add to the issue once mag lugs and washers are used.

If however they are NOT unilug, then they are damaged beyond use.

Being hub centric, the center hub positions the wheel, not the lugs, so the wheel is not "damaged beyond use" if the correct lugs and washers are used, even if the lug holes were "ovaled" out from improper prior hardware ....
