I found these in an attic a while back. Can't find any identifying markings on them anywhere. Anybody know what they are or who made them?

| Deltas, eh? Hmm. They're damn light. I'm kinda wondering if they're magnesium. I did a quick google on Delta and didn't come up with much. I know they're more than 25 years old at the very least given the location I found them. |

Pretty sure it's a 914 wheel. They pop up on Craiglsist around here from time to time and they're usually pretty cheap. I think they'd kick ass if they were all polished up.  |

would have to be a 914-6 at the very least since 914 was 4x130 also. never seen a set myself. i think polished and detailed they'd look good. i think the person in the other post also mentioned they were really light. i think the little info i got before is that they are an italian wheel company that made wheels for several foreign cars. never dug deeper since they were;t for sale hahaha...ken....

i 've got the very same wheels:
mines are 14"x6j, are yours the same size?
hubcup(not sure if original) says they are delta milano,since i bought them in italy and "milano" is in italy as well, i'm assuming they are from an italian company.
i was told theye were pulled from a porsche 911.
that's all i was ablle to find out,even asking on italian forums. |

| I haven't measured mine actually. I think they're 14s though. I have no caps. Just the rims. They're in pretty good condition. Either someone started to or these were polished at one time (the raised portions). |

They are NOT the same look at the spokes. The spokes on one wheel is flat with no empression/design and is open on the end of it the other has an impression/design and the spoke goes all the way to the outer barrel.

They are the same, that's why, but the lighting will fool many!
