But if they have knobs to hold down dog dish caps, they are police rims. I've had police knobbed rims with 3 holes in them. I don't think I've seen one with the complete 5 center cap holes. But I was messing with those in 1994, that was a while ago.

I did run that setup for 4-5 years though. Now I run 15x8 4.5 backspace rallyes with 245/50/15 tires. As regards to the price. Look at what summit gets for rallye repro rims. And those come powdercoated (worth $25/rim I'd say). I would pay half that amount for used often pitted rusted cop rims. Make sure to inspect the lug nut holes/tapers for wear.

You can use a air right angle grinder with a 2" 80 grit and knock about an 1/8" off each pedastal on the back side of the caps to get them to fit down a little tighter but its not necassary. Two of those wheels had holes for the center caps mounting bolts and I made a template out of cardboard from one to transfer holes onto the 2 that werent drilled for them. If none of your wheels are drilled for centers use a late model Rallye to make a pattern from. You are using the 5 holes for the lug bolts to center the template onto the wheel you need to drill. Good luck.

Super coupe rims are 8" not 7" You can bolt those pointy New Yorker center caps on them. "The only thing to do for triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" "NUNQUAM NON PARATUS!"
