Identify these Rims.....

I don't have an ebay account, so i can't e-mail the owner to ask about his rims (offset, bolt pattern, etc)??

Would anyone be willing to do so, or by chance have any knowledge of what kind of rims these are?

Any help is appreciated....

Here is the link....

And the rims.....

He wants to know the boltpattern, offset, and backspacing. Pretty much "what cars does this fit?"

The bolt pattern looks very small, and doubtfully fit the large Chevy bolt pattern.

Looks like you would need spacers/adapters to have them fit properly, looks like the offset would suit a 4thgen more then ours

But if they do fit I'd say get them they'd look good on your car

Alright another board confirmed they are Alessio F1 wheels.....

However does anyone know how much it would cost to have a wheel re-chromed?

One more question, can anyone else confirm that the measuring tape does it fact indicate that the wheels are a 5x4.75" bolt pattern??

Thanks

The roads are good in Florida, i don't have to worry about hitting a two foot pothole in the middle of the street, our roads aren't under as much stress as other states......

EDIT: I was finally able to get in contact with the seller.......Turns out he had them on his 1998 Monte Carlo

A 1998 Monte Carlo with a 5x115mm bolt pattern, not the 5x120mm that I would need in order to get the wheels, they are 5x4.5"

Yeah he finally sent me a e-mail about them.This is what he said.

The bolt pattern standard, 5 bolt. Not offset. Fits any car with a
standard bolt pattern. My car is a 98 monte carlo, just to give you some
idea. I don't know the backspacing, other than it was large enough to not
rub on anything while i was driving.
