does anyone have an idea of the make/model of this rim? When I found my 66 chevelle it had been in a garage for 18 years, and the guy had no idea where the rims came from. I think the center is brass and it is removable. On the back of the center is stamped 113M. thanks for any imput.

looks like an aftermarket rim, when i bought my 72 it had a set of the same rims in chrome. I cant remember what they were called.

Those wheels are a long time Carlisle flea market joke of my buddy and I. For the past 17 years we see at least 2 or more sets of those for sale. Typically sold at Pep Boys back in the late 80's into the 90's. Went by the name "Gold Nuggets" I believe? They also made them in blue, red, and chrome center. Brass.......I think not?

Thanks for the help, As I said I knew nothing about them. I thought they may be brass due to the scratches on the surface, etc. But I did make a deep mark on the back side and does not look the same. Thanks for the info. Sounds like they dont have much value, but it's good to know. Might make a good spare. :) Thanks again

A good spare, yes. Everyone should have a good spare or two.

edit- they are called nuggets. us wheel makes something similar to what i can tell, but i cant find the american racnig wheel version NO.73 (for the chrome nugget). i need another pair with more bs.. i might just have to switch wheels.
