| I don't think Appliance made wide 5 mag wheels... the center caps all shared pretty much the same bolt circle, so you could have Cal-Parts caps on a Fenton wheel, Fenton caps on an American wheel, etc etc. They look to be either the ET or maybe Cal-parts brand, they might have a name embossed in the back, covered by years or road dust and grunge... |

| If they are ET's they will have rivet's (2) on the inner bead per spoke with no name/marking's on it. The calparts will say "CAL PARTS" on the back of the rim with no rivets just an aluminum face pressed/welded together. |

Haven't seen the wheels in person, so no chance to check the back sides yet..
Hmmm... well these are listed as cal parts

Noticed the "spoked area" is not quite right where it meets the machined face...
They do appear to be close to these crestlines..
