    I got these wheels on a '34 Chevy 3-window coupe hot rod. They are 15" with L60 and F60 tires with 5 on 4 3/4 bolt spacing. The inner rims on these wheels are steel with bead welds holding the rims together. Any help would be appreciated. (The car was hotrodded in the 50s, but who knows when the wheels were installed.)

  2. Fentons? Installed after '65 maybe in the '70s?

    There that should get things going for you.

    I think there were several companies making wheels similar to that from the mid-late 60s into the early 80s?

    Usually the name brand wheels had the name cast into the back, while the off-brands did not. But not always.

    Appliance Mags made most of the steel/aluminum wheels in the 60's.

    As mentioned in previous posts - 'Fentons',
    or 'Appliance'. Or not mentioned yet, maybe
    'E.T's. too. There were a lot of companies in
    the '60's making much cheaper, two-piece,
    "look-a-like" copies of the American Racing
    'Torque Thrust' style wheel.

    Thanks guys, there are no markings on the wheels and I found a pic of a Fenton wheel (looked the same but different...lol). I thought the aluminum/steel wheel was unique but I guess not!
