Help me figure out what wheels I have Haha yes just as it says I have no clue what kind of wheels I have and was hoping someone could help me out. I bought them used off a fellow member on here who also had no clue what they were. I really like the way they look so don't worry about trying to talk me into getting new wheels cause IMHO are some of the better looking wheels I've ever seen on an F-body even if they are only 16's. Anyways, they are 8.5 wide and the centercaps read Cruiser by Wheel Distributors whatever the hell that means. I've searched all over the internet and found a company called Cruiser Alloys but still can't find this model and I was needing to get a centercap for one of them if at all possible.

What you have there is a discontinued wheel made by Cruiser Alloys, just as the center cap says.
The company (or brand) has almost no presence online, at least not that I can find. You're best bet for finding out the model is to go to a local wheel place and ask to look through their old catalogs and if you still can't find it, use their contact information for this company; whoever they call to buy a new set of this brand of wheels and go from there. It's probably a brand name of another company like prime or eagle or something.
Most wheel manufacturers used to use a standard center cap, so there is a good chance you won't even need to know the exact model to get one. You can just measure it and tell them what size it is. Your local wheel shop might even have some sitting around.

. . . . I think they look pretty sharp, not big and goddy (sp?) but not your everyday corvette replicas that are a dime a dozen (no offense to you guys that have them).
