Can anyone identify these wheels? Any guesss on vintage? 70's/80's maybe

4 x 114.3mm
6.5" x 14"

I'm considering some options for a 2nd set of wheels.
Thanks.

Those are really nice. If they are what I think they are, they are a pretty rare set of Westerns, in the cyclone/turbine family or a clone. any markings on the back?
If you decide not to use them, Richard may be interested, or if not, I'll make you a deal

I cleaned up the wheels and test fit them on Sunday. The only markings on the mounting pad on the back side looked like "44" or "hh". I haven't found anything online yet that looks like them

I measured them as 6"x14" with a 2.75" backspace. With the currently mounted 195/70/14 vintage Pirelli Cinturato P3's the tire sits too close to the inside of the rear passenger side fender.

Alvin stopped by and offered some advice. We're thinking 185/65/14's might be the way to go. I found some good pricing on some Falken Ziex ZE-912's that I'm considering.

I have attached some pics below. I welcome feedback / comments. Thanks.

ALVIN DOESN'T KNOW????????

Those look great on your car!!

I like a 185 on a 6in rim.

I have no idea what they may be, but they look very expensive, maybe a classic Shelby? Are the knockoffs tin, cast or plastic?

Wow! Love the look!

The knockoffs are cast and chromed. They are threaded.

i was stumped! maybe spriso knows
i think they are perfect offset and i really like the look, the chrome/black looks great with the silver and chrome body trim

and knock-offs finish them off nicely, i was blown away that they were threaded
i prefer these over the turbines

oddly enough they remind me of a 70's toyota wheel.

i like them!

What paint code is that car? It's gorgeous.

Cheers

Thanks. The receipt I have from the previous owner states they matched the original #666 paint. The white balance in the photos may be off a bit due to a mix of flourescent lights and flash.

They definitely look beautiful - I'm a Panasport guy, but those are sweet and I'm sure the only ones you will see. They are sort of a nice balance of American Muscle style flair and 70's Euro... I had a pair of Carroll Shelby's that were similar but without the knock offs. The Shelby's were stamped pretty obviously on the back though...

I like them, and it's cool that no one else will have a set!

May be something here
