HELP Me Identify These Rims I Bought!!!
I bought a set of rims at the Englishtown swap meet last weekend, and I have absolutley NO idea what they are. Ive searched high and low, but nothing. I believe theyre ARE's, but thats the only info I have. Id like to know a model number or something as Id like to order some center caps and replacement chrome screws.
Theyre 17x11 by the way!
They do fit on the back, but need about a 1/2" spacer. Is is possibly to get extended lugs and use 1/2" flat spacer, as opposed to a bolt on spacer? I havent tried em on the front, but I was told they DONT rub... I HIGHLY doubt that, but who knows... looks to have a pretty good offset.
Anyway, here are a few pics... lemme know any info you have!



Oh... not bad for $100 eh?

they look to be 10 spoke SS rims......
edit: somebody hit me really hard on the head please.......i just looked quickly before replying and didnt realize that there is no way they could be 10 spoke SS rims...they look similar with the exception of probably twice the number of spokes! haha

They are 2 piece rims (center is welded to outer). However, the bolts all the way around are fake chrome-plastic.

At the time, I didnt even know if they fit. I still dont to an extent, but for the money I paid, I couldnt really lose either way.
Shoulda seen me stuffin all 4 of those bastards in my vert though! With the top UP none the less!
That was an interesting site to say the least... after re-arranging then 4 damn times, I finally got it so I could see out the passenger window and barely shift into 5th.
