I bought this 90 convertible to restore. Once I cleaned this wheel up, I realized these were some pretty nice polished aluminum rims and thought they looked pretty good. Problem is, I am missing one of the center pieces. The tires are brand new (paid $400 for the whole car). If I knew what kind of wheel it is, maybe I can track one down. Thanks.

IMHO, the rims are not that bad! And, they are much better than the ricer cr*p I see on many cars.

IMHO, they are much better than steel rims or cheap wheel covers. And, that very general similar "style" has been used on a number of OEM rims. They remind me a little of some of the older mid-size GM rims.

Otherwise, for the OP, I have never seen those before.

It looks like some sort of Chinese wheel. There's only a million Chinese manufacturers. Take your pick. That little center cap is plastic isn't it?

I didn't like them at first. I guess it was a combination of cleaning them up and growing on me a little. This car had been sitting outside for over a year through all four of Oklahoma's seasons. The center caps are aluminum as well. I agree with stang&2birds. They look alot better than most crap out there available in 15 inch. When I get the car done, we'll see. I may just go with some 5 star ponies and say heck with it.......

I like that plan a little better than putting effort into finding one of these rims.

I;m sorry, but those wheels are hideous. They are the same kind of rims i see ricers put on there cars. In fact, i swear i've seen em before on a 90's minivan near my house.

You can do much better.

go back to an original style IMO.
