Default New Car

Hey Everyone,
After a couple long months of looking I have finally bought a car. Its a 94 lt1, Black with tan interior. It has roughly 35k miles, the only mods done were Flowmaster, and wheels. Which is what I have a question about.

Can anyone idendify these wheels? I didn't like them at first but they have really grown on me, all except the center cap. I want to replace it, but figured I should identify them first.

If anyone can help that would be great!
Thanks.
Joe

Im not a wheel expert, but i believe the manuf. name is in the center cap. Does it have the letters A R, if so its American Racing. I could be wrong though, not sure if center caps like those are interchangeable.

Not sure, but they look somewhat like the Budnick wheels that GlockLT4 has.

And congrats on the purchase! :cheers:

thanks for the responses
I am pretty sure they are American Racing, it does say AR on the center cap. I talked to a guy at Discount Tire, he contacted AR which is now center line maybe/??? Not really sure,

I think they still make a wheel like that, but with a different cap, so we'll see what happens, worse case I had a guy at the store offer to buy the wheels if I decide not to keep them!
Thanks
Joe
