He claims they are LE wheels, but they don't look like it to me, also claims that they are 14x7.

Not LE wheels. the le wheels I've seen do have a lip and do have a little curve in the face of the spokes. they are also the same size as gslse wheels 14x5.5" if I remember right

those are NOT 83 LE wheels. as said above the 83 LE wheels have a lip and the "spokes" are differnt. This is a bad picture. but hopfully you can tell the difference.

Not LE wheels, but look damn close to them, just missing the lip. I have bronze LE's on my 82, and they are 14x5.5. Skinny, but old school.

Anybody have any idea what these actually are? I was looking at all kinds of old school meshies and couldn't find any matches. Everything else has a lip.

Heres a couple more pics:

Those are an aftermarket wheel sold in the 80,s. They are 14 x 6. The brand was "Weld Wheels". I have a set. they originally came in either black or gold.
