Very nice, sir. Very nice. I still need to get my 7's polished up, but that can wait until I need new tires.

No luck on number 5, huh?

Hey, you got the first four and that is the tough part. I'm willing to bet Andrew Norton out in Cali would love to get his hands on those for a Stroppe build.

Where did you wind up scoring them?

I've been watching them on ebay for a week now, The auction ended today. I paid just over $700 for them including shipping. I just like the way the slots look on the old Bronco's!

As do I, which is why I am sitting on 8-15x7s right now. Not the size I was hoping for, but they will do. One day I might build a trailer and run 4 on the Bronco, 2 on the trailer, and a spare each on the Bronco and trailer.

Be careful when selecting lugnuts for these things. The test nut I got from Advanced felt very light and cheap in my hand. I dunno if I'd trust them for a long term item.

Very nice purchase and a great find. A clean set of slots is becoming more and more rare.

Isn't someone still making these? I had thought that American Racing or one of the other wheel companies that do vintage wheels was doing a 15x8 or 15x10.
