Can you identify this wheel?

I'm possibly going to purchase these wheels. They are 19" and supposed to be a GM wheel. Can you tell me what car they are from?

They almost look like a reversed style Monte carlo/impala rim. Are you sure they are 19"?

I was looking to buy those off craigslist. Small world I see your from Ohio too. In the ad the guy says they could be from a G8 but then contradicts himself because a G8 doesnt have the 5X114.3 bolt pattern. They do look nice though.

I worked at a parts warehouse for a while, and I do believe those are Caddy rims. Off of what I can't remember. SRX or DTS maybe.

I'm supposed to pick them up next week but I really want more information on them. He didn't tell me the size of the bolt patter. I was planning on measuring when I see them in person. He also said they are 8.5" wide. He may be measuring from outside to outside.

Re: Can you identify this wheel?

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread but these should be HSV(holden special vehicles) wheels from the G8 overseas. It's called the HSV E2 or HSV R8 clubsport. Such a sweet car
