Please help me ID. Ewg firestone 15x10

Can anyone help me identify these wheels? I have a set of 3, need 1 more. I was thinking of seeing how they fit my k10.

They are stamped with manufacturer and size, but can't find anything.



If anyone has pics of there truck with these kind of wheels would also help a lot.

I'm not sure this will help you in your search, but "EWC" refers to "Electric Wheel Company" which was later bought out by Firestone, so that explains the stampings inside those wheels. Maybe you could use that info to watch eBay and see what pops up?

These were made by a division of Firestone, called Electric Wheel Company. The EWC was later merged with Lemmerz of germany, the company is now Titan, still in the steel wheel business.

They now make tractor wheels and tires

My guess is because they are made in usa you could ask for your bolt pattern and not chromed,

Huh. Neat, my dad had a set of these on a 68 Cougar that was given to him from a lifelong friend except they were chromed. Still cool, I actually like the steel slots better than the aluminum ones, looks more period correct. Nice find man, good luck.
