Can you identify these wheels?
Just picked up a parts car and it has these rims on it
The centrecaps say Boyds but I can't find pics or information about them anywhere.
I am going to get them refurbed and use them as I am down one wheel after the accident.
Thanks

Those are old Boyd's billets from around 1990. They probably had a milled finish, possibly with a clear coat. They have also been seen as polished, but that defeats the point of buying billet.
They're rare now, and you're lucky to have them. If I had them, I wouldn't drive them, I'd make them museum pieces.

Spend some time polishing those wheels. They look very nice when cleaned up. A classic style and a high end (for the time) quality wheel. Your lucky to have those over there.
Missing the cap, but this is what they should look like....
