WTB: Western wheel
I am looking for one of these wheels. These came on a buddies truck when he bought it new in 1977....They are 15x8.5 6 lug pattern.

Re: WTB: Western wheel
I will keep an eye open for one. Funny thing is, those wheels are what my dad put on his brand new 78 shortbed 4x4

Re: WTB: Western wheel
not disputing the wheels are Westerns but those seriously look like American Racing Vectors....any casting marks or names on the back side?

Re: WTB: Western wheel
I thought about that, but just put Western on the add anyways just because of their age. The one's that are shown in that above auction do say Western in them. I didn't see that on these wheels.

Re: WTB: Western wheel
I second the call on the Vector... take a look at this auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VECTOR-14x7-...95c6dd&vxp=mtr
While its the wrong size, its the same wheel and more importantly, it even has the same six-pointed markings in the casting on the backside of the wheel where it mounts against the rotor/drum. Should help narrow in on what you are looking for.
