You have to take off the wheel and look for parts number or brand .

yeah... I can only go by pics at this point, long story. I'll have to go and check it out if it's still around... thx.

The wheel pictured is wider than 6", looks like a 7" to me, possibly a replica. Definitely not the original.

Dunno, could be a deep six......big dinero.

I don't think so, too much lip for a deep 6. Or at least it looks that way to me.

thats what Im thinking... though deep six black paint goes further into the lip giving it that look... if this wheel was painted that way, will it look like a deep six? Anyone have a deep six pic to compare?

You need to take the wheel off and look for the part number OR, get a better pic. SOME deep sixes do not have hearts at the hole near the valve stem.

Just speculation w/o out more information.

Looks to be one of the older reproduction American Eagle alloys...


You would need to take it off and have a look at the back of it to be sure.
