Anyone ever seen these 6 lug 16x8 painted steel smoothie wheels
I picked these up a week ago thinking that I was completing my set of 15x8 6 lug smoothie wheels with hubcap provisions. Just for kicks I grabbed a tape measure and they are 16"! I didn't bother to measure them when I found them as all of them I have seen were 15". Anyone have any idea if they are factory GM or what they would have came on? They are stamped GM.

I actually sell a lot of wheels as I am in the parts business so I do know how to measure them.

Re: Anyone ever seen these 6 lug 16x8 painted steel smoothie wheels
Check the code by the valve stem ...usually 2 letters and then look on the backside to find dimensions and production date.I have seen 16 x 5 on pre 77 4 x 4 units but not 16 x 8.

Does it have a 1/2" hole for the valve stem or 5/8"?

Re: Anyone ever seen these 6 lug 16x8 painted steel smoothie wheels
the shape of the rim looks like 16.5 to me. it has more of a slope to it, and I can't tell for sure but I don't see the inner safety lip to hold the bead. got any pics of the inside edge of rim?

Re: Anyone ever seen these 6 lug 16x8 painted steel smoothie wheels
The wheels are across town at my storage lot so I don't have any more pictures. I was hoping the center design around the lugs would be helpful on dating/describing them.

Re: Anyone ever seen these 6 lug 16x8 painted steel smoothie wheels
Centers look just like the ones on the yellow blazer in the pics so maybe they are 16.5s. Once I realized they weren't 15" I just figured they were made by an aftermarket company in a custom width. I really should have looked when the tires were still on them. I had been looking for a match for my 15x8 6 lug wheels so when I saw they were 8" wide and stamped GM I didn't bother looking at anything else. There are no codes on the back. On the front one wheel has K-1-1 AA 3. The other wheel has k-1-0 CP 2

There's been a pair of these on the Indy Craigslist for a little while.
