I agree with what most of the guys say. I really like them. Look good, just need center caps and if you drop the truck a couple of inches it would even better.

I had slots on my 68 that was mid blue and everyone told me how good the wheels looked, put some center caps on them and roll on. you sell those wheels your going to regret it later.

I say regardless if you decide to run steelies or Torque-Thrust's, keep the slots. They are getting harder to find. I too want a set of 8-Luggers for my '74 F100/F250 Project. Center caps make them look a bunch better also.
Good look'n truck also.

I like them, but I'm a little jaded. I had slots on my '72 Gran Torino I used to have. Find some center caps and call it a day! They look good!

Thanks for all the compliments on the truck guys. However the wheels are going up for sale. Keep an eye out in the listing or PM for a price.
