Hot Rods wheels

Any body recognize these wheels? Add says they are late gm..I think blasted, with thin tire it might have a early look. But would i ever find 2 more?

 

corvette?
Godspeed
MrC.

 

Hmm could be.. but i don't think so..but maybe. they are 15 x 7

 

Sort of resemble turbo Trans Am wheels, but they have more fins around the perimeter.

 

looks like a nice pair of hose reels to me. paint them to match the house.

 

How true! The only thing that looks like early wheels is early wheels - or reproductions of early wheels. Using modern wheels on a traditional car is the kiss of death.

 

They look like late 60's Corvette to me.

 

maybe you're thinking of these? not quite...

 

No factory aluminum wheels on 60's Vettes after the 67 style Squirrel posted. 68 up thru some point in the first half of the 70s were either full wheel covers that looked sorta like the 67 wheels, or rally wheels.

I'm thinking the ones in the pic might have been used on some Buick Regals in the 80's, but that's just a guess.

 

Whats the pattern size? They look like truck wheels to me.

 

Couldn't do that to my house.

 

Chevy monza and Buick Regal had close..... But no cigar.

There went my ideas

 

'78 Corvette

Gary

 

That was my first thought also, Havent seen any winners yet, if they had center caps or we knew the bolt pattern that would be a big clue..........they could be aftermarkets???

...........also wanted to say,nice one Jim

 

aren't these the Pontiac wheels that had that BIG black cap on them...?

 

Check if they have any markings or part numbers on them and that should lead you to the right direction.

 

Says 4 3/4 ...not mine yet.

 

Ha,ha Yep, I thought of those too (Like on the knight rider car?) but nope, not those either.
4 3/4 is GM tho so if they arent aftermarket they would be GM

 

not T/a or Monza rims monza rim has 12 ribs , the T/a ghas a flatter cover , and its definately not the T/a Bowling ball rim, the manufactuers name should be cast on the back side or in the wheel recess area .

 

Monzas are also 4 lug.

 

Pretty sure trans am wheels. Had some on a car I bought a few years ago. Gave them to a friend who used them on a car for his daughter. We were talking about them recently and couldnt identify what they came from. Walking around a swap meet and see a Pontiac parts guy with a couple. He said Trans Am.

 

I think we have a winner here silver anniversary corvette.

 

I thought vette too late 70's but the '78 vette has the look but wrong number of "spokes" yours have 10 and the vette has 9....still looking

 

If anyone gets street rodder mag, on one of the little pesky subscription cards there is a pic of a chopped red 3w .To ME these wheels look similar to the ones on the car. I know they are not the same wheel. They may be the Turbo T/A wheels now that i think about it! I've got a barely off topic P.U that i was thinking about having the wheels Powder coated as close to the Dow 7 look i can get and run them on that.

 

Nope not turbo T/A wheels anyone else

 

They look a lot like these, maybe an aftermarket variation of the style ?

 

Those wheels belong ONLy on the mullet machine they came from

 

Trans Am

 

Blue 49 called it. Late '70s 'Vette.
