    Did you look at the back and see if there's a name? If they're really Ansens, they'll say so.
     
  4. They look a lot like a set of Apliances

    I don't personally have the wheels, they are on a car that I am looking at. Was curious what "period" they are from and if they are "common" or worth a bit.

    The extra wide and extra skinny wheels are worth more than the medium width wheels. If you don't need them, they're only worth $25-50 each. But if you need them for your car, the price seems to go up! $200 each for skinnys (less than 5" wide) is a common asking price.

    I have several 7 and 8 inch wide wheels like that, only one is an Ansen. Some are Fenton, some are US Indy, Western, or no name. There were a lot of companies making them from the mid 60s to the mid 80s.

    I bought quite a few 2nd's at Appliance Plating in Lomita on Saturdays and these sure look like them. At least the outer lip looks it. As I remember they were not flat; but I'm 50 years older too.

    They seem to be correct for a drag racer in the late 60s.
