Need help identifying this wheel

[Keeper]

Anyone run across these 16x9 American Racing (maybe?) 8-lug aluminum wheels before? I can not find anything on them... I'm going crosseyed

They have American Racing cast in the wheel or other identity markings? Just in case it's just cap installed on a different wheel?

At this point, I have to assume it's a mismatched cap. I have found no castings on it, either size or manufacturer. There does appear to be a long gone (paper?) sticker on the insides. They are aluminum.

American Racing "Python" - I ran a 17" set on my '02 Avalanche 20 years ago. You're welcome... I loved those wheels when I had them back then.

With @Trio's identification I was able to find the American Racing's page
for this (discontinued) wheel. (See attached for part #s, bolt patterns, offset info, etc)

Nice looking wheel. Also looks easy to clean. Personally speaking, nothing's worse
than not wanting to clean your vehicle because the wheels are so intricate that they
take longer to clean all by themselves than the entire rest of the vehicle. :-(

Simple is good. :0)

Thank you sir!

Interesting that your chart shows the 1515002 cap, which is the newer (cheaper) chrome'ish version with a sticker emblem. I think that the original cap that goes with it is the 1515001s, a polished stainless steel with a hard plastic emblem. I'm on the hunt for the originals, but have only found one so far. They used to be sold on Amazon apparently, so hopefully I can scrape 3 more good ones together.

I remember seeing these wheels EVERYWHERE when I was a kid back in the 2000s, I feel like these style of wheels were insanely popular for like, 5 or 6 years and then they just fell off.

Thank you sir!

Personally I think the old "shotgun shell" style caps look the best as far as aftermarket wheel center caps go,
