Default Can anyone identify my rims?

i really love the rims that came with my 86 Z28, but I can't find any replacement for them. they are 15x7, which is a little too narrow for my needs. The widest tire i could run on the rear was a 255/60, which wore down the middle if the tire was above 20 psi. even when i had the 305 in the car, it had traction issues on old, worn black top. im now getting ready to start building my 350 for the car, and it's going to have about twice as much power and is being accompanied by a shorter rear ratio. i would like to find at least a 15x8 for the rear, or a 15x8 for the front and a 15x9.5 or 10 for the rear, or possibly 16's. i beleive they might be from american racing, but all of the stamping on the rear of the rims is completely illegable. any help is greatly appreciated

They looks like some plain Cragar Super Spokes to me.

Take a look at a set of American Racing AR78 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...1%7C240%3A1318
I know this set came off a ford but it is the only set that i can find that look the same
