slot mags

don duick · February 19, 2014, 01:17:36 AM

are slot mags uncool now ? dors anyone still have them, I am starting to like them again. They suited the charger so well.

myk · February 19, 2014, 01:31:18 AM

If you like 'em, use 'em...

Lord Warlock · February 19, 2014, 01:32:12 AM

People like them because they are retro looking, they aren't in fashion now, but they still have plenty here that like them. I've got the slots that came on my car when i got it, set aside in favor of newer magnum 500s but keep them just in case i want 15 inch wheels one day.

tan top · February 19, 2014, 05:24:10 AM

Slot mags on a charger !! are

IMO one of the best looking aftermarket wheels

High Impact · February 19, 2014, 05:31:10 AM

Not a charger but Im going to run these this summer. 15x8.5 rears 15x4 fronts!

Ghoste · February 19, 2014, 08:30:22 AM

I love them and with the spoked style so everywhere now, I wouldn't be surprised if slots made a comeback.

HPP · February 19, 2014, 10:04:48 AM

Problem is most vintage ones are 14". You can occasionally find 15" but tire selection isn't great. American Racing was re-popping 17" ones for a while, but I think they discontinued them.

darkside · February 19, 2014, 10:12:32 AM

us mags are making them again.I bought a set and they are nice.

yeah I am starting to tire of spoke wheels, slots are starting to look fresh again they looked so good on the DMCL charger. Chrysler Australia had slot mags as a factory option on the valiant RT charger.

Dino · February 20, 2014, 12:21:53 PM

Not the most exciting wheel in the world, but it's hard to go wrong with slot mags, they do look good on a Charger and almost a must if you want that 70's look.

No 17in or 18in sizes?

Also noticed a misspelling of Challenger on their website

Cooter · February 23, 2014, 07:28:55 AM

Yep, I gotta set.

Ghoste · February 23, 2014, 11:21:17 AM

For "someday just in case" or do you have a plan?

actually, two were on the kids 66 belvy went I got it, and the other two were on the cousin's Camaro.
Never know Ghoste, you might see a Citron yella 69 in the next incarnation if I don't sell it.

Ghoste · February 23, 2014, 08:52:07 PM

Hey buddy, if you are throwing them on a Citroen a big block Dodge is the only other improvement you could make.

dangina · February 23, 2014, 09:24:01 PM

you can buy them from american racing in 17" now as VNA69 ansen sprints

toocheaptosmoke · February 24, 2014, 12:42:32 PM

Scored a couple 15x7 slots last year off craigslist, then found some vintage mr. gasket chrome wheel nuts in the bargain bin at the local parts store to go with them. Love the retor look. Need to get a set of 15x8 wheels for the back and move the slots up front, currently running some 15x6 steelies up there now. (needs more tire up front) Something to look for if I get out to carlisle again this year.

johnnycharger · February 24, 2014, 04:28:28 PM

Just got mine mounted this morning!

comet_666 · February 24, 2014, 04:44:31 PM

Nice!
Are they 15's or 17's?

johnnycharger · February 24, 2014, 05:02:00 PM

Thanks! 15x7. I got them at a swap meet and polished them up

Ghoste · February 24, 2014, 05:04:37 PM

I like them.

69bronzeT5 · February 24, 2014, 08:23:34 PM

I got a pair of 15x10's waiting to go on the back of mine

A383Wing · February 24, 2014, 08:26:19 PM

still got 'm on mine..bought them in 1975

johnnycharger · February 24, 2014, 09:00:23 PM

Thanks. I think they look great on these cars. The hard part is findings a good center cap for cheap.....

comet_666 · February 25, 2014, 11:27:38 AM

These or...

comet_666 · February 25, 2014, 11:32:41 AM

Cooter · February 25, 2014, 12:34:22 PM

Bottom has lip on outside like my original slots. But, either would do.

comet_666 · February 25, 2014, 12:38:49 PM

I like the depth of the first one but everything else about the 2nd.

Great looking 3rd gen and the slots look great. I thought long and hard about getting slots but ......... I went with the Cragars.

comet_666 · February 25, 2014, 02:41:05 PM

69bronzeT5 · February 25, 2014, 08:35:00 PM

Anybody running a 15x10 on a L-60 series tire?

A383Wing · February 25, 2014, 08:59:02 PM

I think the rear on mine is 15x10 or 15x9.....L-60 is bias-ply tire...I would have to actually look at what rear tire size I got on mine..been so long

I picked up a pair of 15x10s a few summers ago mounted on some bias-ply L-60's. Want to put them on the rear of mine but not sure if they'll fit

A383Wing · February 25, 2014, 11:13:35 PM

depends on what the back-spacing is....only one way to find out I guess....put 'em on and see

Lord Warlock · February 27, 2014, 01:21:30 PM

L-60s should fit with no problems, I had L-50's on mine for a looooooong time and they fit fine, there was some rubbing marks on the inner fenderwell on one side, but i can't attribute those marks to the L-50s, its more likely due to the fact that my tires were mounted on rims too small to handle them and the side bulge occasionally rubbed against the undercoating.

comet_666 · March 10, 2014, 05:45:28 PM

Pic of these on the car..

comet_666 · March 10, 2014, 05:51:07 PM

Seems like I have about 4 inches more I can fit.

fy469rtse · March 11, 2014, 04:04:23 AM

Use those on the front and order two more for the rear, you haven't fitted them so there considered brand new still ?
Can you return them and exchange for wider ,
By the way cars coming along nicely , looking great

comet_666 · March 11, 2014, 07:47:32 AM

These are the largest they make 17x9.
I really like them, but they just are not big enough.

if they made like 17x12 I think I would be good. Does anyone know if American Racing makes custom wheels?

71green go · March 11, 2014, 09:12:53 PM

there are places that will widen rims....

HPP · March 12, 2014, 10:40:32 AM

If they are forged or three piece they can. If they are cast, no go.

American Racing used to have the AR Custom shop where they could do things like this, about 5-6 years ago. I'm not sure if they still offer that or not. I'd recommend surfing their website to see if they still have it listed, or call and talk to them direct. They may be able to create a custom offset, for a fee of course.
