Default Name that wheel!!! :-D

I come to the experts of LS1tech seeking help/info. Friend of mine's daughter busted a wheel on her 93-97 Z28 and needs to find a replacement but doesn't know the kind of wheel or where to find. Here is the picture he sent me:



It's an 18x9.5 and was on the car when she got it. So, can anyone name that wheel?

I agree the wheel is less than attractive but that's out of my hands. I was hoping someone could identify as only one needs replacing.

The guy is just relaying information to me through his daughter whom lives out of state to us both. I told him to tell her to check to see if there were a name or any type of identification on the wheel and have yet to hear back as of now.

BOBS99SS, I have three sets of wheels for mine and I wouldn't trade any of them for it, lol. I'll sell but definitely not trade.

I appreciate everyone's time and help. I'll see what he says and then go from there.

Couldn't find one cheaper than $259/per!!! o_O So I offered my 17in Black Z06 Spyders for $500 for all four since he'd have over $300 just for one wheel including shipping. He passed and hasn't said anything on the Kaizer either so he may just have the stock ones put back on, lol.
