Does anyone know what kind of rim this is? I need to know a maker in order to buy a replacemnt. Everywhere I go they say "we need to know who made it inordewr to order it we dont match them with pictures...

 

I took a look at my summit book and it is eaither a cragar rim or a CENTERLINE
iam just judging bye looks but I think it is some thing cragar makes .it almost looks like a series 330 cragar but the beads around the tire are black on the 330..... yours are chrome

just a thought ok hope this helps

 

American racing also makes something like that too.

 

Almost everyone made that design back years ago. There were a few variations like the cap, allen rivits and finish. What does tha centercap logo look like?

 

Hell my 280ZX came with those wheels on it, it was a very common wheel back in the day. I think Cragar still makes them though if not them then American Racing should.

 

If your local tire/wheel shop can't tell what it is, find a new shop.

That basic design was referred to as 'sawblades', and there are MANY makers of that angled spoke design.

 

Hey thanks everyone I havnt been about to find them anywhere. Those Cragar rims look similar but these are aluminium I think. I cant find them on any of the American Eagle websites.

 

Possibly a discontinued or changed style. Which would mean, getting perfect matches, would mean scouring the junkyards and classifieds.

 

I had a set like that by American Racing years ago on another car. Can't remember the name, but it was a directional blade of some sort. They were right and left specific (depending on how you define rotation) one side had a clockwise pattern and the other was counterclockwise. I still see them around and on some vehicles, some people forget and mix them up on each side of the car...

 

It is a Centerline, judging by the style of the rim and the centercap logo (the latter being a dead giveaway).

 

I have sen them around also the worst part is asking some of the people I see who have them and I get the same answer "they were on the car when I bought it..." I havnt found them anywhere. I was thinking they might be Center lines but that is just the center cap I might not even be for that rim also the rims do say AEWC on the back... No other id markers this is getting hard lol the local junkyards ive been to dont have any and they need to know what the maker and model of the rim is to check with others. but no one there knows what its called...-Rev

 

American Eagle Wheel Corporation

They are divided into like 6 different brands now. None of which, make "sawblades" anymore.

 

Damn thanks for the info... Anyidea what the brand was still got hit the junkyards and cross my fingers...

 

Back then...Just American Eagle. Now they've branched into a brand for 4x4s, a brand for imports, a brand for $$$, etc.

 

On this thread there may be some guys looking to sell their sawblades. I haven't finished reading the whole thread yet.
