  2. Those are 5 lug wheels, which won't fit Volkswagons (the peoplesCar) Or some wimpy ***orted mustangs. The good news is that they should fit your Cadillac!!!

  7. Just tryin to be helpfull sir....
     
  8. Next time you see a box of 80s era car magazines for $20 at a swap meet, you have a reason to buy it - to look through all the ads and find out what those wheels are. And find out if you're required to have a mullet to run them.

    They look like old American Racing Wheels you could pick up for like 50 per wheel, they will fit on your caddy, but you have to ask yourself do you really wanna put those ****py old 80's wheel; on a cl***ic cruiser like a caddy???? dont wanna sound like a jerk, but just the wrong wheel for the right car....just my .02

    If you have 4 or them You have around 80 pounds of S**** steel !

    Thoss have to be in the top 5 of the Worst Looking Cheap *** Wheels ever made List.
     
  12. Put them in the barn for the grandkids to find in 40-50 years! Then they'll be worth something, maybe.

    Looks like an american racing flutted wheel. They still sell them but in alittle diffent design. Only flutted on one side like a saw blade type.
     
  14. Weld a piece of steel pipe about 3 feet long and the same diameter as the center hole into the center hole, then weld a piece of 1/4" plate onto the other end of the pipe, fill the top side of the wheel with concrete, and you've got a really good stand for your bench grinder. If you have a full set of these wheels, three of your buddies can also have nice stands for their bench grinders. (The concrete serves two functions: It puts weight at the base and makes your grinder stand harder to turn over, and it hides the ugly wheel so nobody knows it's not just a common old steel OEM wheel.)
     
  15. hose reels! A little Chrome Polish would wake those things up.

    Come on guys, dont be so narrow minded about these,
    since they have tires he can load 3 tons of sand in back yard, fill tires with concrete, weld a 10ft pole to them, put nets inbetween and have a nice valley ball cort .

    or put them on your trailer

    Looks to me like you have something you should either, A- use to roll your car arond on until you get better wheels, or B- Take to the s**** yard and get some cash to put towards your Caddy if you already have better wheels.
