8 lug slots 👍:D I still have a set I kept off a truck I used to have. They used to look that good, bet they don't anymore though 😫😄

If I had an 8 lug single wheeled truck Id be asking to buy them! I do have a 6 lug truck and have considered buying an new set of slots......

saw those, if they had solid instead of split spoke I would be all over them......I want 17x9 8/170, bore 130.8 +12 to +18 offset
I get that. My last new 1 ton came with 18s. When I bought wheels and tires (the next day), I put 35" mudders and stayed with 18". I didn't go with 20" wheels because of the lack of sidewall. Most other new trucks I saw went to 20's and 35s.

Not that I hard core offroaded an
F-350, but I did need to air down to drive in sand and mud frequently for Pismo and for hunting.

Chrome and polished aluminum still have there place but the majority of the time when I see it, reminds me of some old guy with gold chains. I suppose if youre the "Hot Rod scalante" guy rock that shit.

Black wheels are for lazy people who don't want to clean them. Hides the brake dust.
Brake dust looks worse on black wheels in my opinion. And it’s harder to clean. Chrome it just wipes off.

Good God this is ridiculous, I've got about 30hrs into page after page after page looking for something I like
if you want black wheels (yuck) sky's the limit, but if want chrome or polished FORGET IT!!!!! very little choice and a 100% chance of being back-ordered for at least 3-5 months or discontinued.
I never thought finding a 17x9, 8 lug chrome wheel would be so hard :mad:

I agree with this, my wife's flex has the factory black 20's and I swear cleaning the brake dust off is a huge pain in the ass.

Unfortunately not much market.

Most of the people that like
them aren't driving anymore.

If your sending them out for chrome, cali is the worst place to go due to environmental redtrictions. Look Az. Or further east. I had some steel wheels made for my boat trailer over 5 yrs. Ago at wheel smiths in Corona. It's never been in the water, just seen ambient weather, washings, clesnings etc. And they're rusting. Cali chrome is complete shit like so many other things the environutsis have fucked up here.
