1984-1987 Turbo Buicks could have a variant of this wheel. Looks like it could be those, or a reproduction from American Racing, but looks nice, either way. Your thoughts?

Not bad, but they look like they might belong on a pickup.

I like it. And those keep the 80s vibe. I like S10 rims also.

Those are 84/85 Grand national wheels because of the painted black inserts. I have them on my 85 GN. The T Type wheels are plain aluminum.
