I have a guy who wants to sell me these wheels. Says that they are off of a LRE truck. I haven't seen them in person, but supposedly there's no rust on them. Should there be a part number somewhere on them? Any idea what a good price is? Thanks for any help!

Dodge used the all chrome "slot" wheels on a variety of trucks & vans in 15x 6.0", 7.0", 8.0" widths.

Here's a 15x8.0" version. IIRC, the '78 & '79 LREs are all 15x8.0". ..... or did the '78s have 7.0" fronts?

Why are they smooth and flat around the stud holes? Never seen a Mopar wheel like that. Looks more like an aftermarket wheel of some sort. Didn't all Mopar wheels have the raised or recessed area for the/a cap of some sort?

The more I look at them, the more they look like a FrontWD wheel. Looks like the wheel center is way to far out to the outer wheel lip. Might just be the picture, might just be me.

All Chrysler slots (painted or Chrome) & spoke style wheels that I've ever seen has had that pressed in circular ridge around the lugs

Those wheels are either Superior or Appliance wheels

Everyone back in the day had those

Thanks everyone for your help. Looks like these are aftermarket wheels.
