Any Vintage Wheel guys out there?
I've had this wheel in the garage for years and always assumed it was an original TT. Upon closer inspection tonite I find it's not. It is a 14 x 7 like the rest of the TTs I have, but this one is obviously Aluminum.
Any guesses as to the manufacturer? I've had this thing since the early '80s so I'm guessing it's a late '60s - early '70s vintage.

One of many TT copies from back in the day. Could be a Keystone, Appliance, or any number of more obscure makes. Go look through the "Vintage Wheels" thread at some of the old ads I posted (and others posted) and maybe you'll see it.

Re: Any Vintage Wheel guys out there?
It could possibly be a Mickey Thompson "Duke." Check this site out...they've got lots of nice photos of vintage mags and mag wheel accessories of nearly every variety. I don't know about the backside markings, but the face looks very similar to the M/T Duke. Hope this helps. KustomWheel.com

They were made in Japan, this one's stamped USA.

Re: Any Vintage Wheel guys out there?
Bill/Tom/Erik/Joe,
I did look through the Vintage Wheel thread and thought maybe it was a Fenton. Could also be the M/T Duke; that's one I hadn't noticed before. The number of 'steps' in the face and the width of the web at the mounting flange fits those two models fairly close. I 'm hoping someone recognizes the back markings.  Yep, she's American Made so it won't fit no Ricer!  Thanks for the info so far.

Re: Any Vintage Wheel guys out there?
Any Fentons I have ever owned or looked at always have the Fenton logo cast in the backside and the Hustler II or III name also on the back. I'm also doubting the wheel you have is a Fenton. Ever hear of a Foremost?
