Title: Wheel Identifiaction Help
Post by: 62bugg on April 20, 2005, 07:13:30 PM

I have a set of 15 5.5 5 bolt porsche style wheels 5 spoke with black centers. The insides of the wheels are stamped as follows, one spoke says 15 X 5.5, one spoke says Max. Wheel the next one says Load 1180lbs. On the outer portion of the wheel is stamped 24. The wheels are aluminum and the insides are ribbed in about 1/8\" segments. The car way redone in the early 80's. Does anybody have any idea whgo would have manufactured these wheels???

wheel identification is easy...  They are the things on the bottom of the vehicle that have rubber attached and go round and round.  Does that help? :D

The guys in So Cal call them \"gay-lloys\".  

They're actually starting to be worth something now.
