Default Howdy Folks - Enkei 16 wheels GM FWD

Hello
I joined the forum to see if anyone can answer this question. What are these wheels and what year and model Cadillac did they come on?.. I'm desperate because I can't find these anywhere on the internet.






I realize they are made by Enkei and are 16" x 8" or so but I sure need to know more about them.
Thanks

not enough info .. what is the hole pattern by diameter?

at 1st glance, they look like after market wheels for a FWD 1980's Cad.

In other words 5 on 4-1/2" with a 6" backspacing.

16" rims weren't all that big(popular/available) in the 80's....I'm thinking they may fit a later car, possibly a midlate-90's Eldo?
Regardless, they are aftermarket, and prolly never "came" on a Cad from the factory. Might be Dealer add-ons to try to sell dealer stock, or someone just wanted them, and put them on.
The rims will have a date code on them that would at least narrow down the year they were made.
Are you trying to sell them, or find a replacement?

I bought them at a Police auction thinking they would fit my Trans Am but the Bolt pattern is wrong so I thought I could sell to cover the money I have in them.
Therefor I need more information for the ad.
The Caps look very stock GM to me and they integrate so well into the wheel I figured they came on a Cadillac.

16" wheels started showing up around 1989 (mostly 15" prior to then) on the FWD GM cars and were used until GM walked away from the FWD design (A-Body) 1982 to 1996.

after market Cadillac wheels are usually designed to look "OEM" in fit and looks, so its easy to feel they may be OEM - these are not.

find a FWD Cadillac, try them and you will know for sure.

I suppose any 4" cap would fit if I wanted to put them on something else.
