I got these off of a friend locally and had never seen another set before and haven't been able to find another set since. Any help would be great.

| I don't remember seeing any markings that would designate a manufacturer. Any idea what markings I would be looking for to indicate it was a Western, Jim? |

These on the picture above(the 4 wheels and caps) are actual Jackmans...
I'm 100 % sure...You can see the J logo on the caps...
About the other ones..maybe yeah...they could be Tacoma...But I just know one tacoma wheel shape....and this is not....

The Far West Wheels above are not Tacoma wheels. These are Tacoma Wheels. They were actually only welded on the back side. The cut outs were the shape of a garden hoe blade with parallel sides
