I am not even sure what I have!

Hey guys, I will try to make this as short and sweet as possible.

I just bought this 1984 Trans-Am on Friday night, and I was wondering what kind of wheels these are.



Theres nothing wrong with them at all...I just dont like them. I have searched quite extensively on "classic" wheels / rims websites and such, but to no avail. I plan on selling these in place of original snowflake design wheels (when I get the money), and would like to sell these if they are worth anything and if anyone wants them...I just have no clue what to name them. Any help if appreciated and thanks in advance!

These are the cheap chromed steel wheels you can still get about anywhere. Typically find 15x8s in the $60 each price range. Not much demand for them. And because they're used, you'll do well to get half that price. It'd help to get more pics, especially at angles which show how far into the wheelwells they sit.

They'd look good for a drag wheel but I wouldn't run them on the street. Not sure what they are.

Thanks for the info man. I kind of figured that they were definitely cheap and could be found anywhere, but I sort of meant "hey does anyone know what brand these are?"

Either way, if I could get rid of them and pocket a little bit of cash, I will be happy. I plan on taking more pics soon, I just have no ramps / lift / jack / whatever, so that sucks.
