: Trying to identify rims/track down another

My new (to me :p) '79 El Camino came with a mismatched set of wheels. One is a Bassett racing wheel (seems to be the same as this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BASSETT-INERTIA-ADVANTAGE-RACING-STEEL-RIM-15x8-4-3-4-4-OFFSET-58AC4IS-IMCA-/280761747167?pt=Race_Car_Parts&vxp=mtr&hash=item415eb446df#ht_894wt_1180), while the other 3 are as yet unidentified. I want to get the fourth one of them to have a nice matched set, so would love some help in identifying it. It's a 15" wheel, and here's a link to a picture of it:

Thanks!

That looks like an American Racing AR23 wheel http://www.ebay.com/itm/15x8-Machined-Wheel-American-Racing-AR23-5x5-/170710504692?hash=item27bf2394f4&item=170710504692&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr

Yup, it definitely does. :) Thanks!

I just realized they're 14" tires and not 15", so I'm going to have to decide if I want to keep them or look for a larger set of rims...
