Found some wheels liein around my house

Wondering if they will fit.

I know what you are thinking. Jack the car up and try them on.

Well, I can't get in my driveway because there is construction going on and I am parked a good distance away and don't intend on carrying my jack nor hauling it through rough terrain.

So the ex-owner of this place I just moved into had some wheels. Some guy was supposed to pick them up I think but never did, so I guess they are mine now.

They aren't really my style, but I figured they would be good for when I race because they are lighter than stock and lighter and smaller than the rims I want to buy.
But only slightly. I clocked them in at about 19lbs. They are chrome Primax 16.25 inches. That's all I know. I guess I could measure the holes but I dunno anything about that. (ED) ALmost forgot to measure this, they are 8 inches wide, which is nice. (ED2) I searched and I guess the name is "Type 315". I'm assuming it has a 38mm offset but I couldn't find anything on 16 inchers.

Anyway here's some pics of stuff.

and a serial number is all that's on the back.

I think I might sell them for $300.

In other news I just picked up my company vehicle. 1996 Grand Caravan.

Best idea I heard today

Just a personal thing, but I HATE 3 spoke wheels. I have never seen a set that doesn't physically make me flinch.

if you ever actually see the "super aero's" on the saab 9k's you'll change your mind about 3 spokes... while your at it... check out the aero interior...

Saab's aren't bad, but I'd push a Yugo before I drove a Saab with those wheels

Sorry, like I said, it's a personal thing, and I'm sure some people like those hideous wheels

Do the wheels fit the grand caravan? If so you should put them on there.

16x8 you say? I'm thinking, If they do fit mount some nice wide race tires on them. If your using them for race, does it matter if they're ugly? It would be nice if they were a little lighter though.

The wheels I want are 18x7.5 and 20.6lbs so these would have an advantage in every other department. :/

I reckon though I can sell them as a down payment for some rx-7 wheels.

Either that or I can start over in my wheel search and just drop some serious change on some really good mags, but chances are I won't find the design I like.
