    They are chevy bolt pattern 14x7's

    Torq thrusts? Fentons?

    There are no markings inside the wheel except the picture below. Ive never seen it before. It is a raised

    Thanks

  3. Might just be the photo or the angle of the shot but those look like more than 7" wide.
    Peaked spoke one piece wheels similar to a TT, but definitely NOT American Torque Thrust. Unfortunately EVERYBODY made a TT knock off back in the day. Fenton, M/T, Ansen, ET, Appliance, Keystone, even a foundry out in PA made some for Don Yenko (Atlas), and the subtle differences are sometimes hard to detect.
    I have a pair of wheels virtually identical to American TTs, but there's absolutely no marking on them except a "14 x 7" cast into the back of one of the spokes. I've had them for a couple of decades and have yet to determine the manufacturer. The crest on your wheels should be of some help.

    I'll PM you a link to a thread with some pix and info.

    Good Luck.

    I have had these wheels for about 5 years now and kind of gave up on figuring out what they were until I spotted the crest. The weird thing is that only one wheel has the crest? I was looking to sell them and would like to know what they were before I got rid of them

    Thanks for the thread. very informative but no crest! They do look closest to fentons judging by the thread though
     

  5. Somebody needs to check and see if that is cast into a CRESTliner wheel!
