what do you call this type of wheel? (solid, no spokes)
 
trying to effectively google around for something like this, but not sure if they have a name...not these exactly, but this style of rim that has no gaps.

I found "smoothies", but that's a bit different than what I'm looking for...

any hints?

Thanks!

"Ugly."

I always knew them as 'solid face' wheels.

Maybe solid dish wheels? I know Centerline makes some.

Go to tirerack.com and filter by wheel category "wheelsnooneshouldbuy", and that one and more like it should show up in the proper size for your car.

Those were big in the 80s, but can't remember to save my life... Damn memory loss.

but of course, my wife looked at them and said "Centerlines"

Guess they're having a little trouble unloading them.

These discounted wheels are perfect for spares, creating man cave art or finishing a unique project.

Wow, bunch of stuck up pricks in this subforum.

Thanks for the helpful replies, to those who gave them.

Fuck you to the rest.

Top ones look like centreline copies but centreline is the generic term.

Bottom ones look like McNallys but I'm not sure they made them in that size. I've got a 10 inch set for my 1969 Mini Cooper but the pictured ones are clearly larger.

Hemi Barracuda (or Baccaruda:)) on centrelines, I'd have some of that.

Imho they completely don't fit for small-nimble-sporty coupe. If one is willing to install heavier/stronger wheels .. maybe rally-ish ones like eg. sparco terra, might be better choice? I understant that some may value form over function .. but in case of this wheel design i don't see form/looks bit, that might justify their abnormally heavy weight, too.

Have you tried google image search?
