Interesting find Sid. Thanks for posting.

If anyone is interested in these wheels please contact the manufacturer for the exact bolt pattern, as it states they are 5 on 5.5 in one area, then in the information below they post this.

     Available in full machined or full As-Cast finish
    Precision-crafted from A356 aluminum
    5-lug bolt on and utilizes conical seat open end lug nuts
    16 x 5 Inch Diameter
    5 x 4.5 Inch Bolt Pattern
    1.875 Inch Backspacing
    Lug Nuts NOT INCLUDED with wheel
    Lug Nut Cover/Knockoff NOT INCLUDED with wheel

Just a heads up so you get the right pattern for your vehicle.

 Anyone purchasing conical lug wheels should look into Gorilla lugs. They have a collar which goes into the wheel and not just the cone. For larger diameter tires, I have added a flat plate over the open lugs and extended studs and 1? flat side lugs to meet the SCTA rules.

I have also needed to machine off the enclosed ends of lugs not only to meet the rules but for the flat flat plates. At one time ?milk truck? 18? rims required the flate plates.
