hey everyone i picked up two of these rims yesterday at the junkyard with tires for 50 bucks. they are 16 inch and they came off of a chevy astro/safari van. i only got two because whoever took the other two could not get the wheel locks off of these rims, but i did. any of you guys know the make and model of these rims so i can buy two more? thanks- oh yea i got the truck down 6" in the rear now, im about 1.5 inches away from the axle and its still down 3 in front. thanks for looking

They look like some old Prime, or Enkie wheels. Good luck finding a matching pair, or even center caps.

1LoC10 · 03-02-2009, 02:35 PM

yeah, def made in the early 90's....what ever brand they are, they dont make them anymore

SnS C10 · 03-02-2009, 03:13 PM

i didnt really check but should it say on the back side of the rim who made them?

f.monroe · 03-02-2009, 04:51 PM

Ultra, Eagle ,Prime ,Enkei , or in some cases Boyds were used on a lot of the conversion vans in the 90's . I can check with a buddy in town to see if he has a couple but it might be a long shot .

It's hard to say, they made a lot of wheels back then.. Some of them may say it, just give it a try..

Cherub · 03-02-2009, 06:08 PM

thier not prime or centerlines. IM thinking ultra or eagle

flamingbig10 · 03-02-2009, 11:06 PM

I could got sa set of 18s just like those a couple years ago for 100 bucks but they were for a ford

SnS C10 · 03-03-2009, 12:00 AM

thanks f. monroe let me know and we can work out a deal if your buddy has them. I did a little research and it looks like they may be Ultra rims but im not certain- thanks for helping me out guys

smashingchuck · 03-03-2009, 11:46 AM

My guess is Ultra. Probably on a conversion van, so they're going to be extra hard to find.

SnS C10 · 03-03-2009, 01:59 PM

hey guys i sent ULTRA Wheel company an email and picture and they said they scoured their old catalogs and could not find them. they told me they think they are boyds.

SnS C10 · 03-04-2009, 12:10 PM

anybody else have any ideas?

professor x · 03-04-2009, 12:31 PM

Possibly Progressive Rims or Eagle, mid 1990's.

justpball · 03-04-2009, 03:40 PM
