is that an enke (sp?). I think they were big in the 80s.

 

Thanks!!! :cheers: :cheers:

 

Yup, Enkei it is

 

Might also be a BBS wheel. Looks very similar to the OEM wheel on the GTA's. Came in Gold, Silver, and Black with chrome outer piece.

Very lightweight and pretty strong, probably not something you would want to road race with though (unless it was genuine BBS, they made them for that!)

hth

 

A little too "Smokey and the bandit" for a Corvette though. (IMHO)

 

Isnt that a Firebird icon on the centercap? My guess would be that they are from a 1989 Trans Am 20th Aniversary Edition. The 20th came painted in white only and came with wheels that looked just like that. That year the car was equiped with the Buick 3.8L Turbo intercooled V6 that made the GN so famous. That was the only other car and the only year that hosted the Buick V6 Turbo. They are rare and highly sought after.
Actually I just checked some pics on the web of the 89 TA wheels and they look a little different than that. im probably wrong with my guess

that logo on the cap is an E, E for Enkei. They used that in the 80's.

It's definitely not a BBS wheel, they used a square pattern around the lug holes (flat surfaces)

rims from a GTA firebird year 89-93 or so.

 

:iagree: Looks like something you might find in a trailer park.

 

:iagree: BBS's though were the wheels to have in the 80's. :yesnod:

Get the rims Lasse has if your going to be pointing your hard earned dollars in that direction.

 

well im gone to have to disagree ---thats insignia on the cap is for epsilons or close to spelling.

 

:iagree: That doesn't look like Enkies trademark.

 

pats right....its epsilion or something like that...enkei had a weird lookin curly e symbol.

 

Enkei it is, also isn't that your old Duntov they are on?

 

Yes - it is the Duntov... I'm asking this question for the guy that bought the car.. He is actually selling it already... :(
