Help IDing some wheels please
 
I find no casting or stampings on these wheels. Chevy 4 and 3/4 bolt pattern, 14x6 pair and 15x6 pair, each with a 3 inch back spacing. Any help is appreciated. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Sam, I don't have a clue, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif but those are great looking wheels. What are they going on?

Hey Grady,

Not sure yet, but think they will look good on something around here! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

The ones with the bigger flange look like some "Crestlines" that I have.

I think the ones with 'JAPAN' cast on the back are Appliance.

-----Tony,,,I must be going blind as I cant see Japan cast in any of these wheels. Good looking set though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif.......Bill S

Thanks for inputs so far fellas. Whatcha seein' there Tony? I am in process of buying these wheels so I do not have them in front of me, but can not see the "made in Japan" cast?

Anyone else have an idea on the make of these wheels? Probably 2 different manufacturers. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

The 15" ones do look like Appliance wheels I have seen. Both on the back side and the way the lugs are is. I've heard the Appliance wheels were made in Japan and should have that cast into them. I would look them over closely for the Japan cast.

Certainly two different manufacturer's and two different styles of lugs.

Take a look at this web-site. Lots of wheel info there.

American Torq Thrust knock-offs. Nice peaked spoke wheels like the Original TTs. I have a couple of pairs of knock-off wheels but no set of four that match. I DO have six original TTs, all are 14x7s.
One of my non TT wheels is very similar to those 15s. I haven't found any markings that indicate a manufacturer.
If you search through the thread here you'll soon see how difficult it is to pin down a certain wheel if it doesn't have the manufacturer's name cast into it.
BTW, I'd snap them up if they're even remotely reasonable. I'm not extra-wild about the wide flange on the 14s but those 15s are sweet! Get rid of the glossy gray paint and they'll look great.

Sam,
Next to last picture; bottom of the wheel "JAPAN".
