Anyone try these retro wheels?

Anyone put these wheels on a dentside yet?
Ive been debating on ordering a set. They pretty much look like old school slotted mag wheels, but come in 17" or 18" so I should still be able to buy tires. I have been running 16.5 blade wheels with military tires, but these have got me thinking now...

The car is the Mad Maxxis Off road runner from Dirt Every Day. Its on youtube

4wd or 2wd? I say no to faux bead locks on a 2wd but on a 4wd they could look quite good. Check the backspacing they come in though, 4.5" backspace on an 8" wide wheel is usually good on these trucks unless you want tires to stick out more.

if you run big tires they might rub radius arms

The Summit description from the link in the OP says that those have a 5 X 4.5 inch bolt pattern, but if they make them for eight luggers, then they probably make a 5 X 5 as well.

I think you mean 5x5.5.

I bought US Mags slots for my F150. They may offer a 8 lug now, they didn't when I bought mine.

The pic in the OP shows eight luggers on that Satellite.
