I am in need of some help. I received these wheels as a gift a while ago and can't remember what year and vehicle they came off of. Any help identifying the approx. year and potential vehicles would be very helpful.

 

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

 

Todd.

Camaro?  79-81, not sure if they go back further than that.  6 hole rally wheel. 

 

What size tires are on it?  Any data I can find on the Camaro sites and google shows 14x6 or 14x7.

 

Looks like someone either swapped the GMC logos on or found a matching cap?

It looks similar, but I guess they painted this wheel for more accent. I really like the design of this wheel, the pattern is different from the aftermarket wheels that I usually see in shops like 4WheelOnline.

Thank you both for the information, these look exactly like mine with the exception of the color. It appears as though someone did in fact change the center caps. I was told they were from the GMC version of the El Camino. But I have had a hard time finding any information on that vehicle.

Sorry by the way they are  14x7

 

 

 

Yea the spec on the Camaro ones say 14x7.  They very well could have come from a GMC Sprint or GMC Caballero.  

 

And actually, here's a shot in the 1979 Caballero brochure:  4.jpg (766×992) (lov2xlr8.no)

 

"These rally wheels are standard with Diablo, and available for Caballero and Caballero Laredo."

 

Caballero was 1978-1987.  The Sprint was 1971-1977.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
