So I got these wheels. They look almost identical to Ansens, but they don't have ANY info on the inside of the wheel. The backspacing is about 1/2" to 5/8" more positive (more tuck, in other words).

My questions are - Do they look alike enough to be used as front/back?
2) Anyone have an idea who made them?
OG Ansen is on the left.
And who narrows wheels and what is a ballpark $ figure?

Those are Appliance`s. You could run them with Ansens just run them in the front.

All my Ansen wheels have the valve stem in one of the cut outs behind the face of the wheel. Superior also makes a similar looking wheel. Some try to pass them off as Ansens. With you owning Ansens I'm sure you know the differences.
