Gary,
American Racing Wheels. "Silverstones". The ones with the threaded center
"nok off" (which is purely decorative) are usually not as wide as the ones
with the "hex" center. A dealer option, about $76/wheel. All Silverstones I
have seen have had painted grey spokes.
Jim is absolutely right. Magnesium deteriorates.
Those old wheels are an accident waiting to happen. In the interest of
public safety I will be happy to dispose of them for you. I'll even pay your
shipping charges and send you four steel wheels in exchange. That goes for
anyone with a set of these wheels, even the aluminum ones. Be safe. Just
send 'em to me...................:>)
Really, give 'em a good look.
