I might buy those for my Drag Radials...

OMG! Haven't seen deep dish slots in over 20 years. They were quite the rage at the drag strip in the late 60s, early 70s.

Don't think I'd put them on my vette though. Kinda like the rallys.

well maybe some TTIIs.

My buddy had some on his jeep. His brother borrowed the jeep to go hunting. Drove 30 miles up to hunt. On the way home he noticed the jeep was riding really rough. Turns out that some of the lugs were loose on the wheel. Any way, he drove the jeep all the way home and it ruined the one rim. the holes were wallowed out to the size of a quarter.
Those wheels looked awesome on his jeep.
