vintage wheel help
 

i need help regarding the manufacturer of this wheel. i was told it was used for trans am racing in the late 60s and early 70s. there are no markings anywhere the sizes are 16x8 front and rear. i know american racing had a design similar but as far as i know they are not from them. there is also no bead lock on the lip and require a bead sealer on front and rear. I took these in on trade for some paint work and just want to know more about them and possibly what they are worth.

Could you post a pic of the back side? Any chance the backs may have had some machine work done,....... for brake clearance, etc?
That's a real common design for 60s/70s era wheels and a bunch of manufacturers copied the ARE TT design, but I'd guess a 16" diameter would have been fairly rare then. To me, the web around the lug area looks different than an American.

I have one wheel (14 x 7) that's similar to yours and it has SOME markings on the back, but nothing to indicate a manufacturer.
