I got lucky I guess. I paid $40 for the pair up front which are 15X7 and then I had to bite the bullet and paid $100 for the pair of 15X10 for the rear. As far as the ones you had on the Camaro you will likely have those for a long time. I have an El Camino with the on there and right now they don't have a true value at that rim size.

Here are a couple of pics of slots I had on my previous buggy. Rears were 15" x 10" and fronts were 15" x 8". Don't remember the tire sizes though.... :roll:

My brother-in-law pulled these off his Camaro:

I offered him $300 and he jumped at it.

Good tires (Cooper in front BFGs in back), all 4 are 14" and the center caps are a little faded. One has a small amount of curb rash.

Am I stuck with them for a future project or do you think I can get that money for them?

I bought my set of 14 x 10's, & 14 x 8's a while back for $150.00 for the set, but, they had crappy tires on them. (although, yours look in better shape tham teh ones I have... :roll: ) They were basically slicks that started out as street tires. I believe they were M50's. They were SUPER WIDE for a 14" wheel that's for sure! I'd like to get a set of tires the same size, but, I can't find, nor can I afford the new tires. I do have a set of 14" L60's I'm going to use though. They shouldn't look too small on the wheels.

6x14" front and 8,5x15" rear, change from 5 to 4 lug

Screw the wheels, I *love* that top.

Love my slots... 15x10 and 14x7

IMO, the wheels need center caps to have a finished look.

Joe what size are your fronts? They look nice and wide..I just picked up this pair of Cragars with wide tires for $40 off CL, I tried one on to see how it looked compared to the slots.

This is a recent pic with the 10s & 8s

Im back at it again with more slot wheels, this time 15x8.5s and 15x7s. What center caps are you guys using for these and where are you getting them? thx

Thu Jan 12, 2012 3:09 pm

EMP, I find the center caps on ebay. Both 4 tab and 5 tab for Ansen, American or Superior rims. Then I also find the center stickers on ebay too.

Here are a few Slots I have.

This set is all 4 lug VW. 4.5 X 15 with 205 75 tires for the front of my buggy and 6.75 X 15 that will get 31 10.50's for the rear of the buggy. No adapters.

These I have been collecting for awhile. 2 8.5 X 15 and 6 5.5 X 15 all Wide 5 VW.

I've got a handful of 4-130 slotted mags, mismatched offset 13's in ~6", 14x6's and 7's I think, 15x4.5's,15x8.5's, and several pair of 15x10's... Some of you guys have found killer deals. If anyone needs a pair I might be able to help, many are collecting dust as I've converted most my cars to 5-130 or 5x205...

Thu Jan 12, 2012 3:32 pm

damn I sold a set of these (15X5.5) for $100 a few years back. did I low ball myself?

Depends on the offset, finish, and bolt pattern...For a decent set of 4-130 I'd say you low-balled...worth at least twice that to me.

oh well. hopefully someone is enjoying them.

I think I may have ended up with them. If my memory serves correct, you sold them to a buddy of mine maybe 2 to 3 years back. I bought a set of 15 X 5.5's from my buddy to run on the rear of my buggy and then found the 15 X 6.75's. I will be polishing the 5.5's too and will use them as my Beach front wheels with wider tires to run in the sand.

I think I may still have 6 to 8 - 15 X 4.5's in the atic along with a set of Chevy pattern 15 X 8 slots.

Don't get me started on wide 5 centerline rims, I went overboard on those.

Here are another set of slots on my project Oval Baja.

Chris and Joe, what size tires do you have on the rear of your Bajas? Im looking to go bigger on the back of mine with the 15x8.5 slot wheels I have for it. I need to change out the front tires for bigger too.

Fri Jan 13, 2012 7:01 am

I am running a 31 10.50 on the 15 X 7 rims currently. When I change to the 15 X 8.5 rims, I will run a 32 11.50 tire. (My baja has a RGB tranny in it with a final drive of 5.14:1 ring and pinion)

Fri Jan 13, 2012 8:07 am

I gotcha, I was thinking 30x9.5s for mine. Will you be selling the 31x10.5s you have?
