Name That Rim!

Got back form the junkyard, Only 1 fox, A stripped mustang.

Found a metal/aluminum constructed wing in the back of a random car so i snagged it, Think it's for a honda... Not sure.

Then while browsing the Ricer section, I found a couple nice looking rims, Really interested in them i walked away for a bit keeping an eye out for the other 2.
Then i found the 3rd in a pile halfway across the yard. :hick:

So i grabbed a wheelbarrow and snagged em' up, Searched the whole yard for the 4th, Never found it. :punchballs:

Anyone have any idea what make they are? Are they aftermarket? Are they off a certain model car?
Bummer is... They don't fit the 'bird. :flame:

Pics:




They have spoogeho tires on 'em, 2 of em are trashed from the car being drug or something.

Aha!
I did some further looking and found "Superior" stamped on the backside of the rims.

Then googled and found this:

Yeah those are just some cheap aftermarket 5-spoke wheels, probably several different companies sell something similar.

Since you only have 3 I'd recommend just returning them.

I'm guessing they are 4x4.5 so they would be for a honduh. I worked at a tire shop that we had a guy come in and have us pull all 4 rims off and junk them. I took them to the recycler and got $30 out of 2 of them.

I think i'll return them.

Didn't have a measuring tape with me at the time, And i swear as soon as i started loading them up in the barrow, Half the people in the import section started eyeing them down and some people commented on them, So that fueled my interest as well. :punchballs:

They looked like american racing rims, So i figured they would be easy to get the covers and extra wheel for... Which i was terribly wrong.

Sad thing is, They are by far the best looking rims in the yard... And it's a big yard. :hick:

Anyone have any idea what the Spoiler is off of? I can get better pics if needed.
