    As I said in my first post they are vintage American Racing wheels.I am not sure how long ago they were made or stopped being produced but as long as they aren`t super rare(meaning big $$$) I would like to find a set for the cuda.

    I would contact American Racing directly and see if they can at least give you a model name/number. Once you have that you can start searching online for a used set. Good luck with the search, I have never seen those wheels before.

    Those exact wheels are probably a mid '70s version. However, ARE did make a wheel very similar to that in grey and chrome about ten years ago.

    Unfortuantly, I think Ebay may be the best, or least the most common, source for disco'd stuff. It would be intersting to know what manufacturers do with all their disco'd wheels. They are aluminun so they could just melt them down, but I dont' think they would do that wholesale to complete lines and inventory.

    If you do find a decent source, I'd love to know. There is a wheel I have that I'd like to find another pair of.
