Who makes these rims? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have this posted in the 4X4 forum too.......

I just bought the exact same set of rims as this truck has http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...269_4_full.jpg (would have my own pics but its raining pretty hard) and there are no markings that say who makes them. There's some sort of serial # on the back that reads... AC2 591 but otherwise theres nothing except for the size and load range. The reason I ask is because I need 4 center caps for them. If someone has center caps that would like to sell them or know of someone that has some please let me know. And any info on this rim will be very helpfull. TIA, DK

Those wheels are made by American Racing. "ARE" stands for American Racing Enterprises. I know they don't make them anymore, but may be able to tell you what model they are if you send them the pic.

So sinse they are AR rims I should be able to order AR center caps (snap on ones) and they should be a perfect fit then.?.?

I'm pretty sure the center caps have a single screw that holds them on. Check your wheels for a small threaded hole between the lugnuts.

Nope, no hole for that screw. I need the snap on ones like on the mid 90's fullsize rims(check the link in my sig... I need ones like are on my stock rims).
