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.

Sam, I don't have a clue,

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!

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.

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.

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,
