Hey, I picked up these 15" wheels today, very rare I think , even tough I know very little about their history. If someone know any detail about them I'll very grateful if you can share it.

Can you please pop that center cap out & take some pics of both sides of the center cap? Please measure the radius also or show that cap on the measuring device.
Thanks. |

Tom I tried taking it out, but it may break apart because it was glued with a bunch of contact cement. But I measured it on the wheel.

Lippi that's the look I'm looking forward to get on my wheels, black in the background and polished on the front lines and center.
Look at these pictures I took at the center of the wheel, it has a top to bottom pentagon shape while, the ones on the pictures you posted have circle center and the pentagon is shaped just on the top, interesting difference.

My nephew wanted to help me with my wheels so he removed the white paint and painted one wheel and left the other one raw (no paint) Not bad for a 8 year old Probably gonna go with the black though

I don't know if it's good or bad but I don't see the streakers often especially skinny ones. I have more than 3 in my collection though and in the gallery it's only me and DannyZ with pic's but I know there are more out there as I've sold about 5 of them over the years but they were not skinny wheels all wide width wheels _________________ ** HELL YEAH I'LL SELL IT TO YOU**

I always thought that the 5 spokes in that style without any name on them were ET's. Cal parts are slightly different with a bigger offset but have their name on them. Crestlines are closest to them style wise, but they have a their name on also _________________

ETS have rivets 2 per spoke on the inner bead the other wheels in these similar styles are all welded _________________ ** HELL YEAH I'LL SELL IT TO YOU**
