Any idea what rims these are?

[99Yuk]

These came from my 91K5 full size Blazer.

I was in another thread when I got to thinking that I've had these for over a decade. Why not try them on my Yukon. So today I tried.
They fit and clear the rotor and spin and everything looked good until the Old Guy Mech walked around.
'Son', he said. 'That's illegal, won't pass mechanical.' 'WTF are you talking about old guy', I asked. He noticed that the center of the 15" rims were bigger than the center of the wheel bearing, and only the nuts were holding the wheel on. The center of the rim has to mate with the center of the wheel bearing/hub to pass a mechanical.
So I had to take them off.
Ok fine, but then he asked me where I got them, I said IDK, they came with the truck. I thought they were OEM GM rims, but he doesn't think so. Most GM rims have GM stamped on them somewhere, these don't.

So long story short, does anyone know what these are?

no idea... but why no pics on the yukon? those would look sick

HAHA, the joke is on me. The Old Guy Mech was ******* with me!

I went back and asked about wheel spacers and how can they be legal then. That's when they let me in on their joke. The rims are wheel nut centric, not hub centric, thus they are legal, as are wheel nut centric wheel spacers.

They did give me kudos for thinking about the problem and getting back to them though.

I would still like to know what they are.
Thanks.

Because up until five minutes ago they kept telling me it was illegal!

LOL I was just going to post about hub centric vs lug centric. Silly Canadians ... is it really that cold up there??

Actually this year it's been a wonderfully warm winter so far! I could get used to global warming. I really could.
Other years, not so warm. You have to stop and think about the pic of my Blazer being stuck. When I got stuck, it was a warm fall Saturday, warm enough that the water was flowing, and the ground was soft and muddy in the field. Two -20degree days later, the truck was completely frozen solid in the ground. Two anchor trucks and a 8000lbs winch couldn't pull it out, the winch sucked in the anchor trucks. Needed the military to come get me.

As for the tires, I have to throw them out, keep the rims. I bought that rubber over eight years ago, and it's all weather cracked. No good for Hwy driving now.

I just wanted to test fit the rims today to see if they fit. Then I can buy some rubber. I want to use these rims with 33" knobby tires for the summer to go for the rugged look. But I'm torn. I also bought some 17" rims for the summer a few months ago.

So do I go with these 15" rims, new 33" knobby MT rubber, small lift and a rugged look?

Or do I go with these 17" rims, new 30" HWY rubber, no lift and a clean look?

I could be wrong, but those look like American Racing Crater wheels. If you can polish those up, they'll look sweet.

Ok, so I googled American Racing Crater wheels rims, and found these HERE.

So there not crater rims, but thanks for the effort! Anythink else you can think of? I can google whatever you can come up with.

I was thinking of having them sandblasted, dunking them in an etching acid bath then shooting them with clear coat. If I use them, I think it will look really good.

they look really familiar, but i can't place from where.

i vote clean them up and throw some new 33" rubber on them.

I think their Isuzu wheels.

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

they do have a wheel that looks like that.
