Wheels?

Do any of yall have an idea of what brand wheels these are? The guy I bought the truck from had no idea..I know for sure they arent stockers. American Racing maybe? They are 15 inchers btw..

Re: Wheels?

I dont know exactly what wheels those are but thats a nice truck ...........and the wheels are pointing in different directions . Those are true directional wheels and they should be all pointing forward or backwards . Just an observation . You might search Ultra Wheel or Enkei to see if anything matches . Again , nice truck .

Re: Wheels?

Not many of the low end wheel company made true directional wheels. If you post a close up pics I might be able to ID it.

Re: Wheels?

Those are directional wheels, only they have been rotated like standard ones - if the FL and RR, or the FR and RL wheels got swapped everything will match.

Re: Wheels?

I would think that if you pulled one of the wheels off there would be a stamping somewhere on the rim of the manufacturer...on the backside...? Maybe around the hub on the back? Or in between the bolt holes?

Re: Wheels?

those look like the so called "Ultra" wheels by American Racing, only without the black accents around the holes

Actually Ultra was a wheel brand. Is the white insert original, or were they once black and painted white? Those could be Ultra or they could be Progressive wheels. They look like Progressive wheels to me.

Re: Wheels?

Is that really white tho? To me it looks like polished aluminum that just looks white cause it reflects light under a different angle.
