Default 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?
