Chuckin... what brand are they?
They do not have any brand stamped on them. the fronts just have "GT 500" stamped on the inside. I bought them from a neighbor about 15 years ago (yes this has been a long project). That picture is exactly how the truck looks now, and the pics were taken 9 years ago. But I'm back in business now!!!
When I bought them, the guys said they are "American Mags". That's all I know. Maybe they are American Racing brand, VN69 Ansen Sprints?? They're very close. Bought the set for $75
