what wheels are these?

I just bought the car a week ago, and i noticed that the driver's rear wheel has a wobble in it, possibly being bent. Does anyone know what wheel this is? it's a 15. whats the stock wheel size for a 91 v6 bird?

Looks like this one of these wheels by Cragar. Depends on the backspacing.

Now I can see the wheels. These were very common back in the late 80's early 90's and a ton of companies made them. They are called directionals and you should be able to find them at a local junk yard for cheap. Mark

Those directional wheels were the **** in 1988. I remember choosing my wheels and went with the large 5 hole Progressive Wheels instead of the Outlaw's, Outlaw 2's, or directionals...

Re: what wheels are these?

They look like your basic crome directional. Made by U.S. Wheel They come in 15x7, 15x8, 15x10...what size tire that is on the car now....It looks like you might have a 15x8, Just about any Wheel & Tire shop can get those, they might even have them in stock....I know i did when I ran a tire shop...
