Magnesium wheels
 

I inherited a cool set of magnisium wheels from a good friend. They appear to be made for Corvette disc brakes, so they are probably from 1965 or so. They are feather light and have no markings at all on them. They are 15 x 6 and 15 x 7 in size. Did American wheels have markings on them from the manufacturer?

I believe only the aluminum American Torque Thrusts had lettering on the back side. The magnesium wheels, I believe, had non.

-----WOW!!! Tim,,,If I had that set of wheels Id start to look for the right mid-year Corvette to put them on. A 65 thu 67 competition oriented Corvette is out there somewhere just yelling for those. Nice set of correct size Blue Streaks would complete things, too.
-----My choice,,,66 427/425 silver/black coupe. No radio, J-56, etc. No foo-foo options. Big tank optional!!!......Bill S
