They look Buick. It almost looks like the Buick shields on the center cap.

Hard to tell from the center cap emblem. It almost looks like an old Keystone emblem. They look aftermarket anyway. Appliance, Ansen, ET, etc. all made that crosswire pattern back in the 70s. Without getting up close and personal, can't really be definitive on what kind they are...

I agree that they look a lot like Appliance Wire Mags or a similar type.

Thanks gents. I thought they were old aftermarket rims. Whatever they are they are pretty slick.

They do look like the Appliance wire wheels on my friend's two door '73 Ninety-Eight. They were mounted with the white walls out, but he then flipped them with black walls out so the wheel design stood out. If it was an Eighty-Eight, he would had purchased raised white letter tires. Now he is looking for another rim for the spare, just in case something happens to one of the mounted wheels, especially since there are not many in good condition still available.

Apparently, they are Appliance wire wheels. Here is a set for sale. Too bad they don't have spinners.

You can probably buy spinners that will fit those centers.

Not Pontiac 8 lugs

Not Pontiac. Pontiac Grand Prix wheels were two piece with 8 lugs holding rim to an inner center which was 5 on 5. I think they were made from 1960 until at least 67 or perhaps later. There were different versions to accommodate larger front hubs as Pontiac increased braking area on their hubs. All this from memory so some details may not be absolutely accurate as to years made etc.
