Default Help identifying a wheel

Does anyone know what make and type this wheel is?



The ad says it's a cragar rambler but I can't find anything related to that. These are truck wheels and the guy only has a set of 7" ones so if I were to buy these I'd need to find a set of 10" wide ones for the rear

the GT is polished or chrome and not a 2 pc lookalike like this one, this one is fully machined and it has those fake bolts. The GT does not although it looks exactly the same otherwise. Kind of reminds me of a oem jeep wrangler wheel..except for the jeep having a 4,5" bolt circle

Here's one I found on ebay:

Champ 500's maybe? Those were around in the '80's.

I used to have a set of wheels similar to those on my 86' shortbox. They were called "Gamblers" and they were made by either Ultra or American Racing.

you're right..that's what they are called...gambler not rambler (seller doesn't know what they are obviously...makes me wonder if the bolt circle is correct) they were made by american racing..discontinued figures.

I thought you had a cool set of wheels already for your car ? I don't like those wheels above, I think Intro Pentia's would look cool on a car like yours with flares ? Just my 2 cents

I suppose they look a little dated now, but IMO I have always thought that was the best looking wheel out there for the 70's and 80's Chevy trucks.

I agree and since my truck is an 83 I'm looking for something that goes with the age...bling wheels are for rap videos...I'm not a fan of low profile on older cars

Try to find a photo of the Centerline Champ 800 wheels, they look similar to what you posted. I almost bought a set in 9.5X17 and 11x17 for my Camaro two years ago but didn't win the Ebay auction
These wheels are available (well, they were) in 16 and 17"
