    Is it me, or does this look like the front side of the wheel you're measuring ? (the rivet heads)

    I would prefer the 70's turbines, but I can't seem to find any at a reasonable price. I like the ones that don't have a lot of spokes, like those on the General Lee.

    Do a search for them on Ebay. Or hunt the various truck adn Bronco site's classifieds. I've made some really good deals on both with aluminum slots over the past ten years. Usually bought em locally then sold them on ebay after a little cleanup.

    They are Centerlines. The front don't have washers under the rivets. Also the front are cleaner

    Yes, Although some older wheels designed for drum brakes, will not clear disc brake calipers, mostly seen this on factory steel wheels, but have rarely seen it with aftermarket wheels
