    Im doing a 55' Chevy and I want it that late 60's look. I found a picture of my fathers 56' when he was young and I would like to get the same rims.Obviously they are 5 slots but Im hoping one of you freaks out there will be able to tell me the make based off the center caps....Thanks for the help

    uh....look like they are chrome slot wheels, with no center caps. Notice the rusty hubs showing in the center of the wheels.

    Seem too shiny and perhaps more delicate looking then Ansens....so maybe not an aluminum wheel.....did they make a chrome slotted wheel ? I can zoom in, but the picture quality disappears.....I'm almost thinking there is no cap...maybe just a rusty hub showing thru.....but I always welcome the prominence of being wrong.....and there is nothing wrong with that. :)

    Haha, looks like Quinn and Squirrel....beat me anyway. Withdraw my hogwash please.....there's always better answers.

    Holy Crap I think your right and that makes me a moron. All I was focused on was the redish color,so I was thinking they were Namsco rims. It was getting ready to go in for paint so he didnt put caps on cause he sent it in with steel wheels on it. And yes I asked him what kind they were and he told me I was retard if I thought he remembered...lol...Ahh love
