    They are identical to the Compomotive 3 piece wheel however the pictures you post are certainly a 1 piece wheel. Have you removed the wheel and looked on the backside for markings?

    I'm not 100% sure , but I do remember Boyd Cottington (sp) making a one piece wheel in that style a while back. ???

    Are they all the same width, or are the rears wider than the fronts?

    I remember a set of those on a Boxer. If these came from a car that was on eBay a year ago, I think they are the same. Possible could be Image brand. The Speedlines and Compomotives have the bolts around the edge of the rim.

    If it has the BC stamp, then I'm 100% sure they are Boyd's wheels

    Fred, did you buy this car from a guy named Dan? in Richmond? I had talked to him on that car and was seriously considering getting it. Never had time to go all the way up there to check it out. Looks nice, how do you like it?

    Hmm... interesting. I checked the old craigslist ad I had and it has the same wheels and mileage. The guy I talked to many months ago was Dan and the car was in some warehouse in Richmond. Maybe he sold it to Marcus... Either way looks like you have a nice new toy to play with! ;)

    I looked at that car about 3 years ago in Larkspur. Looked great for the mileage..

    can you tell me which local mechanic has maintained it over the years? Just curious.

    IIR, they are billet centers which are welded to the barrels on the back side ( 2 pcs construction).
    He had a program where you could design your own wheel. Send him a drawing and he'd custom mill the centers for you.

    Yes, Boyd Coddington died this year. His core business was custom cars and billet wheels. If those are Boyd wheels they are very good quality. They look nice on the car.
