Default Does anyone know those rims???

Does anyone know those rims??? They are 8.5 x 15 with chevy bolt pattern. I don't know any additional information.. They look as if they would clear the C3 calipers.. but I'm not sure... Does anyone know those rims???





:cheers:

That's a draglite... Draglites don't have a whole lot of caliper clearance.. Look at the details in the pictures in the above post...

Here is a pic of a Draglite rim:

Could be Enki rims, I had a similar set (without the holes) on a 4x4 truck years ago.

I guess Chevy and Ford shared the same rim, but had different bolt patterens.

Looks like U.S. Wheel's 97 Series to me. The good news is they're real cheap. Page 250 in the newest (full size) Summit Ricing Catalog that has the big butt Toyota truck on the cover.

They look very similar.. The main difference is that the wheel that I'm interested in is aluminum...

Hmm...Eagle makes an Aluminum alloy wheel that looks like the one your talking about. It has 12 holes too like your pic instead of the 10 that the U.S. Wheel has. Check out this link see what you think.

Pretty sure those are Enki's I had a set on my 1976 Vette awhile back.
Not sure of the model name but I called them 'Centerlines with holes'.
