    I have four 15x10 slotted mags that look like they might be Ansens, but the stamp on the back of the wheel only has a large letter A with a circle around it to the left of the wheel size stamp and load rating. Are these Ansens, or some other early knock off brand?

    Also of note, the wheel centers are approx 4 1/8" like a larger truck hub size. The hub centers on my 55' F100 are only like 3 3/4" or something like that. :confused:

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks! :cool:

    Looking at the Appliance logo via Google....that looks like a match! Thank you very much!
     
  4. 4" plus center hole, 5 on 51/2, Appliance slots, I'm gonna guess 70s Jeep to fit a Jeep.

    I've got a set of Ansen Torque-Thrust style mags, and they say "Ansen" on the backside.

    Thanks all.

    I picked them up a few years ago from a former co-worker who mentioned having them on an old 4x4...... fortunately, he sold them to me (including mounted tires) for $25 ea.

    ......so..... looks like a trip to AKH in Ellensburg for a true set of Ansens...... :)
