My guess is Western Wheels Kelsey Hayes K/O Replicas? But according to this, if they are Westerns the name is cast on the inside of the wheel?

”It’s the quiz of the week show”. If you are old enough to remember that.

You are both v close but I need 100% correct identification.

kentvette you fell into my trap. They do look like 82 collector wheels but with a knock off hub as opposed to bolt on, they are made by the same company.

Chevrolet and Oneball if you were a team you would be correct. They are in fact 8x15 knock off wheels made by Western Wheels but seeing as I must take your first answer there are no prizes today.

The only loser here is me as I have to get sore fingers getting the black bits black and the silver bits polished.

your first answer was only right with the manufacturer, they are not replica’s And Oneball stated they are wider 8”. Hence as a team effort you would of got it.

Coffeeboy with that effort you don’t even get a Digestive for your coffee!

Replica/Repro whatever you want to call them. As it says above in Corvette America details:
"From the late 1970’s until the late 1980’s Western Wheel was the manufacturer and produced only the original style 1963-1966 Knock-Off (KO) and 1967 Bolt-On (BO) wheels"
Sounds like a Replica/Repro to me, they are obviously not the original equipment (OE) wheel?

Correct they are not OE but neither a repro, when I first saw them I thought they were a 1982 Collector wheel, similar but not the same as the collector wheel is a bolt on but guess who made the 1982 Collector wheel for GM? Western Wheel Div.
