I got these with a '57 I bought and thought they would look nice cleaned up but wondering who manufactured them and noticed they are two piece from the looks. anybody know??

Looks like one of the many Torq-Thrust copy-cat wheels from the '60s. Front looks cast while the back seems to be stamped steel, thus a 2-piece wheel. American Racing made both peaked (straight) spokes and round spokes (no crease/peak along the spokes) and yours seem to be round-spoke copies. Clean'em up and run them on the '57 with a set of redlines or pinstripe whitewalls!
