Default Can Anyone ID these Wheels???

I am in the process of selling these wheels, they are all 17 x 9.5J and came off a 1993 LT1. In the past I have been told that they are chromed Callaways and recently someone told me that they are Bridgestones.

I have done a lot of looking on the WEB and come up with zip. Can anyone ID these. Thanks.

I know I've seen wheels similar to that refered to as "Callaway/Bridgestone runflat wheels". I can't recall the details, but I think they were on some 93 Callaways. Maybe a Callaway expert will chime in.

They are chrome plated Callaways.

They're just aluminum wheels though, not Dymag. They were put on a few cars in the early 90s including the Bridgestone Purple/Greeen Callaway spyder cars.

I had a set which were painted on my 89 when I bought it. I sold them on eBay to a Callaway owner in Dallas who wanted a spare set of wheels. The center caps on my wheels had the "Callaway" cursive logo at an angle with Bridgestone at a 45 degree angle from the logo.

Good luck.

How much do you want for them? Those are Bridgestone Runflat wheels used on some Callaway Supernatural cars. Good look wheel but extremely heavy. Also worth nothing that J55 brakes will not fit under these wheels.

Youre probably thinking about the Dymag wheels...which these are not.

BTW Callaway has an A in it.

Wheels are sold already. BTW I had the J55 large brake option on my 93 and they fit fine. Thanks to all who contributed. Got it from a third source that these were Bridgestone Wheels used with runflats mostly on corvettes but a few other GM cars. Some were apparently used by Callaway. ???????????
