Mystery Wheels... Someone HELP!!

anybody have any clue who makes these wheels??? I came upon a deal, two of these wheels and two P245/50ZR16's for $75 If I could find out who makes em' I could get two more and slap em' on my camaro. they are 16x8's. Someone help me out! Don't let me have to pass this deal up. The tires alone are worth it.

It looks like the "hammer" style wheels. I think Prime makes them, american eagle, or ultra wheels. Just do a search for them companys and see if they make them.

I found your wheels. American Eagle wheels style # 094

Go to www.americaneaglewheel.com look under rear wheel drive

thanks, yesterday I looked all over and couldn't find the american eagle site. do you guys think it's worth it for $75??? i do for the tires, the 2 wheels would be an added bonus.
he wanted $60 for 2 of those goodyear eagle gs-c's in the first place, so I'd be getting the 2 wheels for 7.50 a piece. all is good with them, he has a 4th gen and has no use for the tires or wheels. that's why they are going so cheap.

they aren't and can't be the same. the ones I'm possibly are buying are 16x8's. all they offer are 15" wheels. if someone can find where I can get that style in 16" sizes, I'll be your new best friend.

Man, I have looked all over and only came up with 15" style. Sorry, I tried! Take that pic to your local tire store, like Big O Tire and they will find you a match, I am sure.

Good luck
