Just got these wheels for $50

Hey guys,

I just picked up 4 of these wheels for $50. I don't know who makes them or anything else. All I know is that I like them and they are 16" which is exactly the size I wanted to use for an upgrade to stock. I want to use them on my SE but wanted some opinions. This is my first time including a pic in a post, so I hope I do it right. Let me know your thoughts.

Mike

They are American Racing Estrella. Yours is just missing the center caps.

I think they're being phased out/discontinued right now. I know sears sell them but they all come in weak offsets

Yeah, I actually have the center caps, but there are just not on. So do you think that these are like a 2000-2005 time-line wheel? Does anyone on the forum have these on their 7? I know they're not the nicest looking wheels, but certainly better than stock IMO. I'm going to have to take these to a place not too far from my home that specializes in making custom wheels. I need to have the holes drilled out in order for me to get them on. The lug holes are off by a hair.

It's mostly dirt. There are a few scuffs that I'm hoping to polish out. Jshiz is right that they are American Racing Estrellas, but I can't find any of the universal 4-lug on line. I need to find the specs for these wheels. Has any one seen these Estrellas in the universal 4-lug?
