2007 Avalanche wheels?

[whitestingray81]

I bought a 2007 Avalanche a couple of weeks ago which was equipped with these horrible aftermarket 20" Made in China chrome wheels. The center caps are missing (3" diameter). Any body recognize the make or model of the wheels so I can buy some center caps? There is no maker's mark anywhere on them. Thanks.

i do not recognize the wheel, no chance something inside the rim requiring the tire to be dismounted? Here is a source for caps but dont know if any will fit

Hey, thanks for the reply and link! I'll have a look around. Looks like the hole opening is 3", and the "lip" is .4". I can't find much of anything in that size.

Not sure what you mean about something preventing the tire from being mounted; perhaps you meant center cap? If so, I suspect as much, but I would still like to figure out what is supposed to go on these wheels.

Anyways, I pulled off a rear wheel last night and found these markings on the rear spokes. Google has brought up nothing, except the load rating and tire rating.

what i was trying to say is dismount a tire from a wheel to see if there is something on the inner area of the wheel.

Oh, I understand now. Yeah, I did that; there is nothing. I found some sticker residue put that's it, besides what I pictured above on the spokes. Thanks for the help!

Okay, after countless HOURS of searching, I simply could NOT come up with a match. I did figure out that the wheels are probably a Weld wheel Cheyenne knock-off, and the center caps for those are exactly 3.75", like my wheel. So I bit the bullet and ordered a set. They do fit, but protrude a little bit. Also they were very loose. So out of frustration I just used double-sided tape and stuck them in there. A bit of a bubba fix but I doubt they will fly off, and it looks better than it did before. Polished the wheels with steel wool and I gotta say it looks a lot better. I'm getting compliments left and right. Case closed, for now
