Default help with identifying these wheels....

I know the picture is very small...but please help out if you can. Anyone know what kind of these wheels are? I called SLP and they don't know, just a picture "they had laying around" is what they told me, couldn't even tell me if they were 18" or 17" (they look bigger than 17 to me...) anyway, anyone know?

Look like Simmons FR18 to me.

Couple people have them here on the board. A white WS6 comes to mind. As well as a SOM Camaro, but I can't think of either of their names for some reason

Australian made wheels. http://www.simmonswheel.com.au/range.html#

it looks like too much of a lip for zr1's it looks like it could be the simmons, although the spokes in the little pic look a bit narrow but it is really hard to tell.

It's the angle of the pic, that's why they look more narrow at the top.

They are 3 piece wheels, hence the bolts.
