    I have a set of old mag wheels and I am trying to determine what brand they are and when they were probably manufactured. The only markings I can find on them is on the back edge of the hoop it says 7x15-STD and Made in the USA. On the front the center cap says SUPER and in between the spokes on one of the areas next to the hole for the stud says E-T. So does this make them E-T's or is that just the style? Someone told me one time they thought they were actually Fenton mags? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    ET supers! ---- nice wheels they usually came in 1/2 sizes like 15x7.5 15x8.5 etc... 15s like that are good desireable wheels!
    they make new caps lugs & washers for them washers & lugs are odd ET only.
    i dont know when exactly they made them? around 1970

    Worse yet, the oblong washers that were used to adjust the bolt circle.

    Cool wheels! My dad has a set of those that may be going on the back of the '32 Ford pickup we have mocked up in the shop right now. 2-toned, are the new washers and lugs being made by ET or another company?

    Okay, so here is another question for everyone. I don't have a use for these wheels and I am planning on selling them. Should I leave them the way they are or should I sand and polish the rim to an original polished finished? What does everyone think?

    Leave the wheels alone - the new owner may want patina....

    I know this isn't listed in the classifieds yet, but I did want to say that I would like to sell these wheels if anyone is interested. Could possibly deliver to HAMB Drags. Send me a PM if you are interested. Thanks!!
