Default What wheel is this?

I am just curious as to what type of wheel this is so that I can look up pricing and get rid of them. In my opinion I think they are ugly and do not belong on my car! haha

With your description of ugly (and I'm in agreement) why would anyone want to pay for these? Price = junk.

Look up Centerline, get the size and back spacing and rehome them

well someone clearly had horrible enough taste to put these on this car. So maybe I will find another person that wants these.

Yeah They look almost like the Centerline Convo ET wheels, except for the ridges along the outer edge of the rim. I will have to look at the dimensions when I get home.

They are American Racing Outlaw II Wheels. They are about $85 new from what I remember. I personally wouldn't buy them, just not attractive enough, but I am sure that somebody would buy them for the right price. They sure would make a car look a lot better than any crappy, mis matched wheels on a project car.


A new set runs for about $350 I think, so I would bet you could get at least $100 for the set minus tires minimum.

They are not Centerlines. They were made to look like Centerlines but those rivets don't look real even in that picture. I think Brandons72vette is correct.

I don't think they're centerlines either. A knockoff probably. It was actually a popular wheel style in the 80's early 90's. I put a set on my truck about 93 or so.

Looks like my Western rims (circa 1980's).

My guess is American Racing.





Bought them in '94, along with those Michelins too.

Best bang for your buck is to sell them as trailer wheels with the small chevy bolt pattern. They sure look at home on a boat trailer.

Maybe it is just because mine look old and worn out. Because, yours look really good on your car!

Yeah, I agree. They look the most like those. Thanks!

…you could always grab some mothers mag & aluminum polish. It works on everything. It really makes dull metals infested with impurities shine better than new. A can costs around $10, which should be enough for all 4 wheels. I would grab some of that, polish the wheels. That way if you decide to keep them, they will look more attractive and if you don't keep them, you can sell them in "like new" condition for a little more money.


Best of luck,


Brandon

I remember those "Mullet Mag's", a great flashback from the 80's.

I just happened to see a set of "saw blade" style mag's last weekend. Now where did I place my chromed Cragar SS's... Funny how things that were once cool might not be so any more.

They look like these... http://www.americanracing.com/wheels/AR62/AR0623

I was thinking they looked like modern racing wheels... Or American racing... There were lots of knock off brands for that old centerline or western mag wheel... ;-)
