I've used these on my 914 for years (so 4x130). I think they look better than the Fuchs. Curious what brand. Only marking is 15x5.5 on the backside.

Shelby or clone according to Samba

Download Google Lens if you have Android. It's pretty efficient.

Thanks! That was quick! They must be a knock-off. I can't see anything on the wheel. I'll double check next time I have them off.

I've had a few sets of Shelby wheels and they never have any markings. If the center caps are gone it can be a pain to identify them.

Had a set of Cheviot wheels identical to that

Those look like Cheviot Hotwires. I have pair on the Datsun.

I also have a set of Shelby wheels; mine have a tiny SSC (Shelby Super Car) marking on the back.

A pic of the back may show a cast in name or number

In reply to chandler :

Knowing Shelby, I'm sure that the wheels were made by somebody else and he just threw on some center caps with his name on them, especially by the time the 914 came along.
