I have never seen wheels with this mounting system. Basically an offset threaded adapter the screws onto the wheel stud, they all must be pointed in the right direction (have arrows stamped) to get the wheel back on. Only clues is the center cap has a big A, like American Racing logo and 15x8 ish size 5x5. Got to one on the worse designs ever, since a thin looking beauty lug nut cap holds everthing together (shown inside wheel lip). Thanks for any info.
The large A stands for Appliance Plating, and that system of mounting wheels was troublesome at best. HARD PASS!
They’re called Eccentric Roto-Lugs. But you can see the problem they have as the holes in the wheel would have originally been round.
Well, that's one I haven't seen before... The 'A' probably stands for Appliance wheels, they were a big player for a while mostly specializing in all-steel wheels. Another less-than-successful attempt to copy the patented ET design without getting sued for infringement.
Wow, you guys are fast. I didn't even think of Appliance, haven't heard that name in 20 plus years. The rims looks very strong/beefy, the center not so much. Can't even use these as rollers, who wants to deal with the roto adapter. Thank all.
I bought a set of the straight chrome Strikers when they came out I think around 78/79? I put them on my 69 Charger because at the time I was tired of seeing Cragars on everything. Don't remember them having weird lug holes. I probably have a picture somewhere but would have to post on the off topic forum.
About a half million years ago when I was involved in retail wheel sales, these were known as "Knuckles" to the people looking for them, at least in Chicago and the Dallas area
Didn’t Western wheel have something similar to that? I remember back in high school a buddy had some on a van that he was building but his had the gold centers
