what kind of wheel is this

Several companies made this style of wheels. I bought a set for my K5 back in the mid-90's and they were American Racing. Also believe Ultra and Eagle also had these. They got stolen and they were already discontinued in the late-90's when I looked at replacing them.
 
That's the problem, these have been discontinued for so long. Once something is no longer current it vanishes. Human history or a model/part number for a discontinued wheel it's all the same.

Two summers ago a guy offered me a set of 15x8 AR-39's or the Ultra knock offs...but one was missing. He had a different wheel on the fourth tire. As I said earlier I have a soft spot for these so I was considering it. Only problem...I COULD NOT find ONE of those wheels. Found several 3-4 wheel sets for hundreds of dollars but no a single 15x8 6 lug of that style. Finally passed on it and told him good luck finding a 4th.

Guess I was lucky when I bought my '86 then. It had the AR-39s on it and they were on it when I got rid of it, 15x8 with 35s.

Im really suprised that noone (myself included) can remember the model number for these, as many as Ive seen in my days.

The guy that owns this blazer bought it out of Vegas and the po said he had the fourth wheel but when the blazer showed up it wasnt there. A follow up phone call and the guy said he'd get it to him. Then there was the 'ole "yeah funny thing, I cant find it now" :waytogo:. So hes got 3 of these wheels with "old style" 35 BFG MTs" (we're looking for a fourth as well), and a rally wheel with a 33" sport king (which is what I have now). So Im trying to help him out.
