These wheels are on the LB9 1988 IROC-Z I recently picked up for $300, with brand new Futura GLS tires. They are single piece aluminum 15 x 9, with black accents and black faux allen head screws, and the only marking I can find on them is US Wheel. I have looked all over Google without luck, does anyone know what model these are? I'm hoping with some cleaning and elbow grease they will shine up, might take the time to do a polish job on them and repaint the black accents.

Re: Can anyone identify these wheels?
I searched the crap outta google and couldn't find anything either. The closest brands were American Racing and USWheel. AR because they have wheels just like this, but with fatter spokes and huge center caps. USWheel because they do big wheel business, and they might've put their brand on the wheel.

Good luck to you! Sorry I wasn't much help, I'm not good with wheels.

Hey, I appreciate the effort! I've had the car for a year now, and damned if I've been able to find anything about them besides the US Wheel stamped into the back of them. they're definitely unique, and I haven't seen them on anything else that I cam remember. I think after some cleanup they'll look great. Esp since my IROC-Z wasn't optioned with the IROC wheels and only had the stock 15" aluminum 5 spokes.

They look like an old set of E-T unilugs, which usually shook like a Parkinson's patient on meth. Add that bent lip and I'd say that those wheels would make a nice air/garden hose reel but little else.

If you had read the above posts, it has already been stated they are from US Wheel, and that they are going to be repaired and cleaned up...As for the rest of your comment, I was asking for identification, not opinion on their looks. Let's keep the thread that way.

At first glance they look like Gotti wheels, but I'm no expert.

Found a 1972 Camaro with the same wheels on a craigslist ad. (Yes, I'm a CL junkie.)

Might help broaden some search areas.

Similar, but doesn't look to be them. It's hard to tell from my pics, but where the star points meet the outer rim is raised up about 1", with black around the sides. The ones on that 72 look to be flush with the outer rim. Same basic style, but not them I think.

Thanks for the help tho, I figured this thread for dead a week ago.

Now THAT'S a project! Love the "Just needs a starter and restoring..." line. Haha! Just.
