which type wheel is this

[peter]

This are the type of wheels I have, the are steel with a alu hart.
P.S. (this is not my wheel)
Does someone know the name of these wheels.

They look like Appliance Mesh wheels. Are there any markings on the back?

I don't think so, the Appliance Mesh wheels are full aluminum, my wheel are steel chromed with a aluminum hart.
14" and 4J or 4,5J.
The look more like mesh lace, but I cant find any markings on the back or front.

I still do not know what brand/model they are but they are very common on roadsters

They were Trans Am wheels. There are some detail variations, but a while back there was a NOS set in boxes on eBay - he listed them as Trans Am brand wheels. I like them.

I had heard these were available to purchase as an option from the dealers. Does anytne know if this is true?

I have a set of them and was thinking about getting them restored. A guy in town can put the center on a 6" wide polished aluminum rim. Powder coat the center any color.

If I do this, anyone know the offset for a 6" rim??

[peter]

I asked here in Holland for the same, if the good take the hart and place it in another rim, but he told me that it is difficult.
Please Let me here if this is possible.

I have the very same wheels on my 68 2L. Always wondered if the can be restored as the steel rim is pitted and flaking chrome.

[peter]

I did restore them end let them widener to 6J and painted the hart in gun metal.
