Question Do you know what kind of rims these are?


Hey guys, I've been looking around and i cant find any rims that even closely resemble these rims? I bought a pair of 4 off of craigslist and now i want a 5th one to mount my spare to and yet i don't know where i could find another one from?

I know it is a 15x10 rim and obviously its a 6x5.5 mounting because its on my Toyota.

If you guys recognize these, then you would be a life saver!!! Thanks guys, YT is amazing.

That was my first guess, but I'm no wheel expert.

American Racing made a wheel called the AR-52 Gambler, that looked similar to those. I don't think those are American Racing wheels, because they don't have the oblong recess on the face like the American Racing 'Gamblers' did.



I think Ultra made a wheel that looked like that as well. Look on the back of the wheel, the manufacturer will usually have their name cast into the wheel.

They're OBVIOUSLY AR-52 Gambler. No, they aren't "junk". Nor would they be cheap, being 2-piece racing wheels.

You're OBVIOUSLY not too knowledgeable on the subject of rims..."buddy"...

Look at those REAL close, I dought very much they are two-piece, but I have been wrong before.
I wouldn't want a pricey wheel as a spare, too tempting for removal.

So...the basic rule of thumb is that if our vehicle doesn't have Mickey Thompson Classic II rims, then we wasted our money on cheap pieces of junk...Well I can't argue with that logic! I'm taking my Outlaw IIs off as I type!



And I thought I've posted some stupid things in the past

Way back in the day, J**p had this same style rim from the factory on the YJ Wranlger Renegades, except they had only five holes, instead of six, to match the five lug nut pattern. I don't know if it is something that Jeep got from American Racing to put exclusively on their Wrangler Renegades or if it is something that American Racing got from J**p and started mass producing. That is the question I have for this. I couldn't really find that much information on these rims which is odd because I thought they were really popular.

Here's a pic:


Now if I'm wrong about any of this, please correct me. They could be entirely different rims that just so happen to look similar. This is all just my guess.

Been doing a bit of research...apparently, there were several different companies who made that style rim during the mid '80s to late '90s to sort-of mimic the three piece Lamborghini rims.




They could be:
American Racing AR-52s, as others in this thread pointed out
Centerline Champ 500s
Eagle rims
Or some Chinese Off-brand

However, when looking for pics, I haven't seen any in a six lug or six hole which has me confused. But whatever, I'm going to bed
