I'm stumped, as well... trying to find out what manufacturer these could be I asked a lot of friends over here, but no one ever saw them before. Maybe they are REALLY rare... does anyone here have a catalogue from Walker aluminum? There was a type of wheels which looked similar... but all I found yet was a really small picture Typ3nut posted a while ago. |

I’m sure these aren’t the rarest, but they are the only set of 4 lug Titanio I have ever seen. 14x6 and 14x7.

I’ve got a single NOS one of these wheels. It’s never been mounted, heck, not even the 205x5 PCD is drilled on it.

Well all you gotta do is tell me how much you have my phone# 🙄 but they NEVER made a 15x4 wheel as stated in the below literature plus the wheel you have looks different compared to my wheels and greg’s (Campingbox) wheels and the other set my friend Bryan is selling.

I don't know how rare they are, I found some pictures on the Internet of them fitted on Toyota, Alfa and so on. They are 6x14.
Cool looking wheels.

Found this but haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet because he only has the one single wheel. Uber rare 1967 ONLY original EMPI Porsche 356 carrera rim Empi asked lemmertz to make this wheel for them in 1967 then Porsche caught wind of that And told lemmertz to stop making them or else LOL so ended the less than one year run of these wheels
