5 Slot Mags

[JeffTheMarine]

I am looking for someone that makes the old school slot mags still. However I don't want the shinny polished ones that American Racing sells. I want the older as cast sort of finish. I doubt they make them in SBP but if they do that would be cool too. If someone can help let me know. I am looking for probably 15X8 and 15X7.

Thanks
Jeff

I've had trouble find the original style too, but i have found these which is a similar design:

i looked for the longest time till i finally found a set i wanted on Ebay, these here are the closest ive seen to the original style slots. All the others just are a bit too far off for my taste

Oh and they also give you the option of as cast or polished !!

I saw these on display at the turkey run. The inside of the slot is polished rather than as cast, but they are proportioned correctly and look period correct.

They look much better (more retro look) than the American Racing slots.

I've been looking for over a year on Ebay and other sites for an old used set, 15x8, 15x8.5 or 15x10. When I did find something usually the backspacing was way to short (3.5 or less), or they had a 5x5 or 5x4.75 bolt pattern. I also felt they were all way over priced for an old cast wheel with nicks and scratches and the like that required buff-out and other clean-up...which mad them even more $$$.

Then on a fluke I accidentally type-o'd 15x9 slot in my search... and I came across these wheels called: "US Mags Indy", 15x9, 5" backspacing, 5x4.5, polished and they were about $150 per wheel brand new, which included shipping. :cheers:

So if you want that old school brushed look, just have a shop brush the polish, shouldn't cost ya more than $35 a wheel I'm told... So there ya go. I got them at Signature Performance Tire & wheel, ask for Rob, he'll treat ya right. AND no I don't work for them or anything like that, ha, ha...

Good luck!

Why not get the shiney ones and sandblast?

 

[Old Country]

Yea I looked for a looooong time, but once I came across those I didn't look back. 15x9 with 5" BS... my problem was solved AND they are brand new vs the beat-up old used puppies I was considering. AND those used ones were only $20 less then the new ones, ha...and they needed cleaning and re-brushing.....plus ya just never know if they're going to be true (not bent a tad).

Anyway - It just made good sense to me, BUT there are lots of FABO brothers with other options for you too. Good luck. :cheers:
