A guy I work with is looking at buying these wheels, but the seller does not know who makes them. He would like to be able to buy center caps for them, and lugnuts. All the seller said is that they came off from a 1990 s-10.

 

To me they look like some old Centerline or possible Weld wheels, but I will be honest I am not all that familiar with them. TIA for any hep.

It might just be me, but I don't think those wheels are the same at all. Look at the valvestem. On the 5-lug wheels, it is only partially drilled into the shoulder next to the 5 holes. On the 8-lug wheels, the valve stem is *centered* on the shoulder. Plus, the base of the 5 holes shows on the 8-lug wheel, above the ring where the 30 rivets are. On the 5-lug wheel, there is no base on the 5 holes. The 30-rivet ring is there by itself.

 

Finally, the valve stem is not lined up with a rivet on the American Racing (quality) 8-lug wheel. The chinese knockoff for some reason lines up the valve stem with a rivet.

I might just be the difference in size and lug pattern, I don't know.

I appreciate all of the replies. He ended up picking up a set of wheels Typhoon wheels. Or at least, that is the pattern they are, he tells me. I have not seen them.
