What kind of wheels are these?

I thought they were ION 171's but am now being told they are not. I need to figure it out so I can buy center caps for them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Mac

mickey thompson, pro-comp, and eagle alloys all make rims that look exactly like that. you may have to measure your backspacing and compare it to the specs of each company's different models.

That is a very popular design. Just about everyone makes a version of it.

I'm pretty sure now that they are American Racing Baja 172's. Thanks for the help, Mac.

To finish off the look of the rims. call up american racing and order the center caps.

OK. I got some center caps for American Racing Baja's and they don't fit. Can someone with these wheels give me some measurements or close up pictures. Thanks for the help, Mac

have you tried pulling the wheel off and looking at the back?
alot of manufactures stamp some sort of ID number or other markings on the rear of the wheel. If nothing else it should give you an exact size and offset so you can compare.

yeah. if you check behind the rim there should be a id code. Just use that and get the right caps

I haven't had a chance to get the wheel off yet but I measured the opening at 3 15/32 inches approximately. Does that ring a bell to anyone? Thanks, Mac
