What car did these come off of?

The look like the "twisty" firebird wheels, but I've never seen them in chrome. Are these off of a grand prix or something?

Could they have Chrome plated the stock Firebird ones? We used to do that with Factory Honda rims.

I don't think GM used them on any other make or model. Also I doubt GM would put an 8" wide rim on a min van or Grand Prix from the factory. My guess are firebird Twistes that were damaged then repaired by a rim repair company, chromed, and resold.

gm didn't use those for anything other than the v6 firebirds and the bone stock t/a or formula' that went in for the firehawk or ws-6 package in 98-99.5'. and they only came in painted silver 16"x7.5". someone must have had them chromed.

Yeah there's a chrome variant of the 16" twisties for firebirds. I usually see them on v6 models though.

My '99 formula came with the silver ones from the factory...
