Unknown Rims... Help?

I have these rims I got for my Camaro. I was told they were aftermarket and I can't find anything like them. Anyone seen anything like them?

Re: Unknown Rims... Help?

They are custom aftermarket rims made by W.R. Grace & Co. They were manufactured in '78. As far as I know they are the only ones like it in the world. They require "roto lugs" which consist of washers with a lug nut that goes all the way through the rim. They are 15x7, with a bolt pattern of 5 - 4.75.

I did my research, now I'm going to put them on my '88 Camaro.

Re: Unknown Rims... Help?

they are too busy - if they are that rare sell them and get something that will enhance the camaro and not take away from it.

How do they take away? I love em.

There are a lot of imitators out there. I liked the Firebird wheel to begin with. My guess is they were trying to improve the original...
