The old school slots would fall into the "double step" category, the term is pretty self-explanatory when you view the slots in the link below, it refers to the additional "step" built into the wheel where the spokes meet the bead.
Most modern slots are of the "deep dish" variety and do not have this feature.

It wasn't a big concern for me as i wanted to run BFG All-Terrain's anyway, and they're one of the very few tires still made for 16.5's
This is the best price out there, free shipping too! (but there's currently a 6-8 week back order).

I think it depends on the manufacturer as well. Define "new" wheels. Mine are at least 20 years old that I know of and they're deep dish. They don't have the extra lip in them. My smaller 14" slots for Chevelle do, though.

That's a definite possibility, the majority of my experience is with the 16.5" 8 lug slots and i've never come across them in the deep dish style.
Most were of a pre-80's vintage and made by 3 or 4 different manufacturers.
