Another one: What rims are these?

I asked this when I first joined and never got a response... time to try again!

And just someone is gonna mention something about it: the green has long since been replaced.

Looking through their catalog and Google Images, mine look a lot like their Draglite series, but not exactly. May have to do with year to year changes in the product. Any more opinions on the matter?

The Outlaw IIs look similar, but the outside circle of ***** appears larger and the center cap isn't round like mine is. Dang similar though.

I've also got one vote from a friend for 'cheap imitation'.

Re: Another one: What rims are these?

The wheels in the picture are chromed steel, outlawII's are aluminum. Those are a common, cheap wheel style that have been manufactured by about 15 different companies over the years. You can buy them new for about $40 each.
