Aluminum slots

Any idea what nuts/washers these would take? The unilug im used to would take oval washers, these dont seem to have the indent for them.

Don't quote me but those lug holes from your pic look almost like the lugs came loose and wollowed out.
If they were uni-lug I believe they would have pockets for the oval washers.

Should be shouldered lug nuts with washers. I have some 70s Ansen rims like that my father bought new. They should be hub centric rims, the lugs just provide clamping force, they don't do anything to center the wheel. Those look like someone used tapered lugs on them, check for hairline cracks.

X2 on looks like old unilug (pattern) hub centric (centered) rims and not lug centric (centered).

Ck Gorilla nuts.http://www.gorilla-auto.com/

73-79 Ford truck 5 lug nut, 1/2 ton, F100, F150, 2wd, 4wd... pattern is 5 on 5 1/2. Having one of those lug pattern measuring plates is nice.

I thought that lug pattern looked small. Almost looks small enough to fit the old MOPAR 5 on 4.5 or whatever that is...

Look at the US Mags Indy U101. I bought mine through Summit Racing. They use a standard acorn nut. I had a set of vintage slots that I could not find a lug nut to fit. I was considering drilling the holes out but decided this was easier.

@54Hydro. How long have you had them and how do you keep them clean? Are yours 8" wide with 33 x 12.50 tires?

I honestly haven't put a lot of miles on them, but I had them put on two Black Fridays ago. I have 15X8 with 33x10.5s. The 10 inch wide rims were not available yet and I honestly did not want the wider tires as the ones in the back are 12.5 and I had trouble with them rubbing. Admittedly that may have been the tire/wheel combo the PO put on. I will be getting a Mothers Power Cone or Power Ball to clean them.
