what are these rims?

These are 15''s and are aluminum..... don't know how wide. Sitting in my backyard trying to decide if I should clean them up or sell them, came off a car I bought for parts

Re: what are these rims?

I think it won't work because part of the link is filtered. That's why the (*)'s are there.

Post the link with that part spaced (which will pass the filter) and we can get rid of the spaces after copy/paste.

It's caprice rim. Put together. The filter engine thinks it's r!cer. These filters are stupid.

Ah, clever.

Just some aftermarket rim. Many companies had a style like that in the '80s and '90s. Not aluminum either, probably only worth their weight in scrap.

Just rename the pic without r i c e in it, and you can repost it here then, with the new name.

Re: what are these rims?

It was taken with a cell phone, for some reason the tires look obsurd in the pic. But rims can be cleaned up. they are aluminum w/o chrome. And the car they are on in the pic is a 1994 capreece. I wouldnt think this site would block the word ryce but i guess its the american thing to do.

Re: what are these rims?

I doubt they're worth much money, you can get brand new ones like that from pep boys for ~$200 a set. Also, if they came on a caprice they're probably 5x5" pattern, not 5x4.75" like our cars. They may fit chevy trucks, if the lug holes are big enough. Chevy trucks use a 5x5 pattern, but the wheel studs are a larger diameter than the caprice/impala.
