Could you can post a picture of what they look like?

MR. GOODWRENCH · 04-13-2005, 10:33 PM

picture, these are 8's

Those are the ones.I have one front wheel that is out of whack.I took it to a place that repairs aluminum wheels.Turns out the wheel is round,but The center hole and lug holes are not centered.The wheel was bought from a friends estate.He bought the wheels in 72.They are true American wheels.It is not wearing the tire but at speed You start to get sea sick.

Those are still available new from American Racing. CL200S. Retail is $185, but I know a guy (Putter) that can get it for about $135 (center cap included...lug nuts seperate).

Do you know if they are the same?I have only seen painted centers(new).The originals were natural cast aluminum centers.I will go and look at one at the local tire store,they had one on the wall a couple months ago.If I could blast the center to match,I would do it.

Putter · 04-14-2005, 11:04 AM

Painted centers on the new ones. Just break down and buy 4 new ones and be done with it...

I have a set of 4 15x8.5 with the 5 on 5" pattern.
These are vintage wheels, not new ones. As-cast centers with the machined lip. Very nice condition, no curb rash or dings.
Tires are in excellent condition as well, Firestone Firehawk SS tires in 275/60/16. I would have to measure the tread depth, but I would guess there is at least 80% of the original tread left.

I am asking $750 for the set. Will ship anywhere in the US48.
Here is a bad picture I snapped in the dark this winter:

i thought the new ones where chromed steel not aluminum?

MR. GOODWRENCH · 04-14-2005, 10:49 PM

Might be able to tell a little bit better by this picture,these are new style aluminum ones
