Are these rims factory?

Just wondering. I'm taking them off and they have the GM center caps on them. Don't know if there worth keeping or not? I always thought there were aluminum ones and Rally rims, But I could be wrong? Maybe from the GM Parts book?

I'm leaning towards no. They look like steel wagon wheels to me, and the center caps probably were just carried over from the stocks.

Yea I thought about that too but the cutouts have a round edge to them. I might have to check the backside and look for stamping marks when I get around to pullin them off

They're stock. They offered them in 15x7 and 15x8, called steel spokes. They offered them in 15x8 for the 6 lug 4x4 trucks.

I agree ... they look like the stock RPO PA6 "styled wheels". Dad has a set of them on his 77:


The rounded edges on the holes you mentioned are the easiest way to tell the GM ones from the similar looking aftermarket wheels.

Re: Are these rims factory?

Here's the coolest factory use of these wheels in my opinion. PA6 wheels with a decal...
