I'm trying to ID these wheels. They look like American Torque Thrust Ds. They are a tubeless design. There is no lettering on the back. They are 15 X 5 1/2 with a 4 1/2 inch bolt circle. The excessive back spacing of 4 1/2 and the center cap design throws me. Any ideas?

From what I'm used to, with the spoke reinforcement ribs and the lack of lettering on the inside they should be magnesium. However, I can't really tell. They don't seem extremely light and I have not been able to test them successfully. They look exactly like the above mentioned Porsche wheels but the bolt circle is different. Porsche is supposed to be 5 on 130mm. These are 5 on 4.5 in.

Does anyone have am older 60's AR Catalog or other wheel company catalogs ?

these are worth exploring.
there's a guy in Ca. on eBay who has a lot of Magnesium wheels advertised, he may be worth contacting.

A friend of mine has a set of wheels that look to be the same as these. He said they were Hollywood brand.
