Can anyone identify the make of these? Was told multiple times they were ETs, but recently someone swore they were US INDYs. They are 15s, 8.5 wide. Were 4.5 bolt pattern changed to 5.5. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks, Daniel
Yes they are U.S. Mags, they are the only ones that were made like that with the flat area on the back of the spokes. Indy was a different model made by U.S. Mags. None of this style was marked with a logo that I've ever seen and I've had several over the years including the 16" x 8.5" as U.S. was the only company that made 16" aluminum 5 spokes back in the late 60's early 70's.
Indy US Mag gets my vote also . That wheel not only looks as the pattern was swapped , but narrowed also . I had a Buddy that narrowed many many Mag wheels . He would cut a key in them TIG the outside MIG the inside and return and polish them . I never knew of one issue . The old drop bed lathe went to the scrap pile a few years ago to make way for a newer Regal , it doesn’t have a drop bed so the wheel cutting is a memory now .
