ditched the bundts...has anyone seen these wheels before?

I found a cheap set of 16's with 225/60's for cheap and said why not. It was dark when I picked them up, and they'd been sitting in storage for awhile. Put them on real quick just to see if they fit, and left it at that last night. With the horrible chroming job, and not really having seen them before, I doubt they're oem. However, I think I want to get them powdercoated. It rides so much nicer than with the 185/60 14 inchers. They take up the wheel gap better at least.

Very period-correct, though I agree, chrome is for the birds. Silver powdercoat with polished lips would be a nice look.

Someone will be along straight away with the correct name for them. They remind me of old-school Lorinsers, but I'm sure I'm wrong about that.

Same ones I had on my SD. They came off of a euro spec 500SE I had at the time too. I want to say they are Centra's.
I love the way they looked!

I like Centras too, but mine resemble the bundts more than those

thanks everyone. Still kinda surprised at the chroming job, though. At least they were cheap enough to not feel bad refinishing them. They're starting to grow on me

Centras is correct. We ran them in 24hrs of lemons race. Heavy like lead, bundts are way lighter.
