Hey everyone, was wondering if anybody knows anything about these wheels, I don't see any markings anywhere, and I don't have the lug key to get them off. Thanks in advance for any info.

15" 5 lugs on a new-to-me 82' square

Hammer a socket over the locking lug.

True, that could get them off, but there is 3 of 1 wheel and 1 of the other. I'd rather they all match so I'm trying to gather info to remedy this mis-matched malarkey. If not I will just grab a different set of the same size and transplant the tires

I seem to recall seeing both of those styles all over the place in the late '80s and early '90s. probably a one of the tire places kept them in stock for quick replacement back then. No idea on the brand though.

Yep those were common and a few manufacturers copied both of those styles. I doubt either style are still made today by any of those brands. There are still a lot of used ones sitting around though.

I'd have to say American Racing would be a brand to use in your search, also A.R.E and Prime.

Thanks for the help guys! There are so many wheels to thumb through searching for these relics. The 5 star wheel looks quite like an Eagle Alloy 028, but the 3 bladed wheels are still a mystery. I'm leaning towards some cheap steelies, soft 8's or something similar to swap out. First gotta get rid of that ridiculous orange and blue paint scheme.....chalk paint thoughts? I figure it'd give the kiddos an artistic outlet and then the rain can come and make for a blank canvas...probably a terrible idea but I'm full of those.

i would sacrifice a socket and weld it to the lug nut. cut it off when you get it loosened and do the same to the next one.

Eagle or Prime. Probably Super Shops mid 90s. One of the two didn't have a ridge on the face for wheel weights. A.R.E. is possible too.
When you dismount a tire, you may find the part # written with a grease pencil or paint marker.
