Identify this wheel
Can anyone tell me what this wheel is?
It was bought new in 91-93, the center cap is bolt on and says Optima.
I would like to find a pair in 8".
They are steel rims with an aluminum center and are all chrome.
Any help appreciated.Buying parts I don't need, with money I don't have, to impress people I don't like

There are no markings on the back or inside. Checked that first.
Googled Optima Wheels and got a bunch of Kia crap.

American Racing,
I had a set of four on my Mustang, wrecked one, I e-mailed them, and they no longer make them! I have one left!

Anyone can cut one up, but! only some can put it back together looking cool!
Steel is real, anyone can get a glass one.

HemiTcoupe, thanks for the info. Maybe I can get them to put 8" rims on two of my 7" wheels.
I forgot to mention, they are dual bolt pattern.Buying parts I don't need, with money I don't have, to impress people I don't like
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
