Rim Discussion

[Otti]

Hey everyone! Been a bit since I last posted.

I had some questions that perhaps anyone could help me find out. I'm currently looking for some wheels to put on my 1969 Pontiac Catalina. I attached a photo of a car that was sold recently and wanted to showcase the rims and see if anyone visibly could tell what brand they are. I understand its possible they're fully custom too but I wanted to post and see if anyone could help me.

 

The attached picture is of a '67 Catalina, that was sold at an auction. I tried contacting the auction and went through some different hoops to try and find any answer, listing answers as well and had no luck with such routes. Is there anyone whom might know the brand of rims? Possibly any other way to go about finding out the information? Thank everyone!

otti, take the picture to a wheel shop and ask them the question, most places that sell trick wheels will know what brand they are... 

having said that, i have never seen anything like this, really cool too👍, maybe one of the guys here has seen them before ?????

Now this would be a good invention for Ringo or Frosty to invent and get really rich off!!! 

 Invent a search engine that instead of searching a word, you copy and paste a image into and then you can surf the www for the same image.....🙄

Well it’s not the best picture to make an assessment from, but I’m pretty sure they’re Diablos. A little older version than what they have today! And if they are; I hope you have really deep pockets! Some sets of Diablos can be as much as $10,000 or more!

Google does have an image search if you use their browser but it looks for the exact same image and isn’t that accurate  

Example; https://www.google.com/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZivcbn5D5V4PXly4g7D5oufU02Emi2c-AMAaP27En3elJ2BG4Lz837KW7IJF05vJo9fLuyLIwtfi5WHxxcwGIEjaAVzPowhQxb074Yuf3xznlzOHwNEQffU5DPhxVMC03wLObvrKSdLZ2cA-hpKfpwt2Y8gHvw6fDWIWyrdqKIQKfAL4yYkaUKxQyXjX8WHjOrICuV-82qe570T75c7qnCR5qtJXTMq_1-c2ug4oWMl7UH_1I7qQTncjAqqCuGRo0wYGhi3-iAR5Gz37WOvEe7NokfZnTv5RXWg_17Gx80k-9V1xn4QXu7WP2AmpslzDc16GYhs3OH9Iz4-fSgPiapyAhignJox8Q

Thank you so much! Diablos is the brand name for the wheels. They are Diablo Blitz Chrome Wheels, thank you a lot!

You are welcome! Those appear to be reasonably priced as well!
