Default Anyone know what wheel this is?

I got a set of four wheels a while back for a steal on Craigslist but now I want a matching spare to work into my tire rotation instead of the D-window I've been using. Any ideas? It's a 5x5.5 bolt pattern so it could be ford, CJ, etc. They're aluminum but I painted them black if that helps any...



And a more fun pic of the wheels in question.

Just look like some old school saw blades. Tons of companies made them back in the 80s and 90s.

Thanks for the reply. Sawblade was the search term I was looking for. I put that into the Google and got a ton of hits back and I guess they were an aftermarket rim made by a ton of different companies. I was hoping they belonged to a specific make and model that I could find at a salvage yard. Now I'm thinking if I want 5 matching rims I'll have to get 5 new ones.. back to craigslist

Thanks! Definitely more unique than all the soft 8s and D-windows though I like the look of those too and might be what I end up with to get all matching rims.

I'm reasonably certain those are first-gen (1993-1995) Ford F-150 Lightning rims, although they look like they have harder edges than the ones I'm used to.




Edit: Didn't see ehall's post... I'd have to second that suggestion after a quick search.

If he takes a wheel off and looks on the back side he should find some kinda markings.

Thanks! I love the look and I'm pretty impressed with them so far. Had duratracs before and wasn't sure I'd be happy with anything else ever again but they didn't come in 35s so I went with the cooper and they haven't disappointed.

Like the tires, not so much the wheels maybe if they had a center cap would help. Looked for them and couldn't"t find exactly what they were close but not exact.
