There is a familiar fellow organizing trying to organize a group purchase over here:

I have no financial interest, I just troll different message boards and thought I'd share the info here to help out any forum members trying to get a good deal.
 
I may be bending the rules with this a bit... so please discuss over there or through private email. And... the person with financial interest in this endeavor did NOT solicit me to make this post.
 
I picked up a set of ET brand Slotted mags, (https://www.frontiernet.net/~jray1977/Baja/SlottedMags14.jpg) that look like this. They are the Uni-Lug style that fit either 4 x 4 OR 4 x 4 1/4, complete with lug nuts AND the unilugs, but the BACK SPACING is wrong for a square body. They would work on a BE or an RWA car. 13 x 5 if ANYONE is interested. Pics on request.
 
Good Golly Bill, It was just the other day that I heard of someone looking for wheels just like those. Unfortunately, I can't remember who/where it was. I'm pretty sure it was an online forum or mailing list. I'll dig around and see if I can find out who it was.
 
Hmmm, I wonder who that was?
 
No... not you Barry. I know David has some rims for you.
 
I have a set of the slotted wheels that are for 4" BC (not the uni style). I'd love to not have them sitting in my garage. I would love to trade them for?? The wheels need polishing (badly) lugs and center caps.

4" BC? don't know that term. 4" WIDE? I'm looking for 5" slotted mags with the stock Spridget back spacing! I've been looking for about 3 years, and wound up with these WRONG ones.. Still, I"m LOOKING!
 
Thank you startech47, that is 100% correct. These are 5-1/2" wide with the stock offset of 3-3/8" I just never, ever like the look. They came on a 66 I bought years ago and I took them off. It did not have center caps (looks like I say they do in the last post, sorry)the lugs were all rusty so they were thrown away.

Hey, please send me pics ..

pythias@pacifier.com. since you took them off a '66 they should fit mine. IF you're interested in parting with them?
 
Go ahead and send ME those cosmic mags. I'll sway ya for the UNILUG slotted mags that don't fit a square body! think about the WIDE TRACK handling you 'll get.


har har har har...

no really go ahead and send 'em.
