Title: Which Wheel & Manufacturer Is This?
Post by: Old Moparz on March 04, 2021, 11:11:37 AM
There's a Facebook page for having grown up in the 60's, 70's & 80's I browse & someone posted this cool old photo. It's not a car page, so a few people were thinking that someone put Pontiac mags on a Charger.  :shruggy:

Anyway, They look like 80's vintage to me & I know there were lots of wheels offered back then but I don't recall seeing this one. I was curious if someone on here might know what wheel & manufacturer this might be?

They really look like Firebird Esprit wheels, but I don't think the bolt patterns are the same.

Definitely, but maybe an adaptor?  :shruggy:

Those are Pontiac wheels or a copy of them. Adapters were popular for awhile and available for a variety of sizes.

Probably GM wheels machined out for uni-lugs.  Really common in the 80's to do that to slots.  Only cost a twelve pack to have my friends Dad's pit crew to do a set.

"Snowflake mesh" I think that's the name.

Please don't mount them on your Charger.

I think Appliance made these in alternate bolt patterns.

It's not the exact same rim, but Chrysler did put this rim on Imperials(http://www.imperialclub.com/Events/Midwest01/81Wheel.jpg)

Pontiac "redbird" special addition wheels sometime in the mid-late 70s.

Wheel adapters no doubt.
