1970 aluminum slotted wheel questions

[whitetop]

Here is an Appliance mag with the later style sharper edge cap. You can note the low profile kidney bean shaped slot holes.

Appliance had large lug recesses but had a special lug that fill up that void and they were extra long on the hex head portion of the lug so they stuck out and looked like a regular mag wheel once installed.

The problem you will find is these Appliance lugs are extinct/obsolete. You can use a standard mag lug that are available today but they don't fill the hole right and just poke out of the lug hole just slightly and it looks odd...one reason today Appliance mags are not real sought after.

People know something is just not right when they look at them with the newer lugs. The wheels and caps are plentiful and cheap due to the lug nut dilemna.

That is a shame too because Appliance mags were one of the better wheels made and used high quality aluminum
