    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.

    There are no markings on the back or inside. Checked that first.

    Googled Optima Wheels and got a bunch of Kia crap.

    HELP!!

    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.
