    They are mid-70s generic Dodge.
    Same bolt pattern.
    Common rims.

    Get the spoiler... it's worth much more.

    Edit:
    Those rims were used on AMCs too...

    Those are actually AMC wheels off of a Hornet or something.The Grabber spoiler may be worth something though.

    are those wheels different than slot mags??? The only difference I see is that the outline of the slot isn't painted. Has anyone around here actually seen one in person???

    I think your talking about the bear cat rims... those have a stainless ring if i'm not mistaken.

    I would love to have those pictures for my Maverick Heaven website (if I ever get around to updating it.....but that is another story). I would need to know year, options, location, etc.

    Thanks

    Too bad that grabber hood is bent up.Probably rotted too,definitely get that spoiler and end caps off the quarters.

    I don't think they were exclusive to the Pacer. You were right the first time. I have seen them on several different AMCs. I believe they were even sourced from Mopar. AMCs were built from parts sourced from all of the 'Big 3'.



    Edit:
    The original poster should print off that Pacer pic and take it to the "Bearcat rims" seller and laugh in his face.

    I wonder what he was asking... ???
    Probably thought he found a sucker.
