Great stuff Greg.
Do you have any info on the "Pantera" rim? Just asking, as I have a set of these, but was told they were Westerns. But looking at the Western rim, and the Superior version, I believe what I have are the Superior Industries version.
Don't mind the Cragar center caps, as those were given to me, and I had to modify them to use them.
Any info you have on them would be great. I've only seen 1 other set of these, and that was almost 15 years ago. |

Superior, Western, Appliance and Shelby International Inc. All made a similar wheel as yours. If you noticed close to the bottom of page 1, Shelby International Inc. has a photo of these wheels and states their name as "Diamondback" fits Porsche 914 ... 5 1/2" x 15-inch.
Superior wheels that I have seen usually are marked or are embossed in casting to identify.
If your wheels are not marked Superior, I would say that they are Shelby International Inc. "Diamondback".
The Western & Appliance version "Spokes" cut-out look to be different near the rim.
These are a unique design and are rarely seen wheels. |

| Thanks Greg. I guess I'll have to do more research, as I've never looked inside the rim with a tire off it, to see any markings. I know there's nothing on the back side of the rim identifying it. I did find a couple in the "rarest rim" thread, and grouped the 4 together, along with adding my own set to my post. Maybe it'll help someone else down the road. 8) |

mine appear to be 15x5... I didn't find any markings on them, maybe I need to clean the inside of them up a bit more and take a closer look. I've always liked the look of them, glad I found a set... 8)
