What brand wheels are these?

[abdywgn]

no markings on back side of rim, measure 7" wide and have 40 "vanes". Factory or aftermarket? Thanks for the help! Uses mag style shoulder bolt and washer. 15"ers.

Guessing, aftermarket.
Brand: American Racing
Model: Turbines?

Good guess. A lot of manufacturers had those turbines back in the 70's. There should be a stamp or name cast on the backside.

Although, I'm thinking customer had a Ford LTD with similar rims from the late 70s early 80s.
These on ebay, look close, 40 spoke, but listed as "no name".

Western?

nothing stamped or cast into the back. thought they might be Western's but that brand does not have the machined flat area around the lug nuts.
agree with everybody made them back in the day, even used as factory options but doubt if they used mag lugs with washers.

Google "Western brand turbine wheels", and you will see that they do.....

looks like American Racing is the winner! back side picture shows no identifying name or numbers. Thanks all! (now at least I know the name brand of
what I'm trying to sell).

yes, they do look like them but they are only 30 "vanes" instead of 40. otherwise they are very close in design.

Okay, now seeing that I'm not sure which brand it is. Guess I'll sell them labeled "your guess is as good as mine" brand.
I will take a look at the area were the vanes attach to the outer rim, maybe that's a clue.

According to a piece on classic wheels, from Roadsters.com, (bookmarked on my phone) all American Racing wheels, other than the REAL magnesium wheels made in the sixties, had their logo or name on the inside of the wheels.
I cannot confirm that, obviously.

Nice looking wheels when polished...but not the same.
