thats your opinion, slot mags rock and with the proper nuts they work just fine. ive seen uni lugs held on and driven with ordinary wheel nuts, scary!

I know

I was just yanking the chain

Haven't seen a 4200 lb car jacked up with 15x10's since the 70's

I ran a tire shop for 35 years I have seen them all once you get ass end jacked up you paint the gas tank lime green or orange wink

....i'm building the car I always wanted as a kid ! that was in the 70's in the UK ! every thing was jacked up with 10x15's and posatraction torque twister tiers . Usually with white air shocks and slapper bars !

the problem with multi fit is a lot of folks don't use the right lugnuts , try and jam too big ones in the slot , hand file out the slots to make wrong nuts fit , re drill them badly , use the wrong washers , file the hub centric holes out to make them fit......ect. A good unmolested pair with the correct lugnuts and washers are perfectly good ! I do agree ....given the choice of unilug or direct drilled i'd go for direct drilled every time . As for being out of style ....well , every classic American car ,hot rod , rat rod or lowrider Kustom is out of style according to the car buying consumers of today ! That's why we drive'm .....to be stylin' in whats out of style ! ha ha smile

the only ones that painted their gas tanks orange or lime green in my area were the Frenchman and jacked up cars with 6 bangers in them.

Hey 427'...i'm using ford Bronco truck springs on the rear, adjustable top four link bars to get back the correct pinion angle and axle snubbers on both sides to restrict up travel .....modern thinking for an old look !
