Default What brand are these wheels?
There is no name stamped on the inside. Just says 17 x 9.5

Any thoughts?

They look like some old wheels that American Racing used to make. 1-piece cast wheels, right?

Thanks for the response Tony. It says 2 piece on the inside.

They have a serial # and "ARE" is at the end. Could that stand for American Racing?

ARE was a brand name in the early '90s. I believe Enkei made the wheels for them. They were available through the chains like Discount Tire and such, but have long since been out of business.

I went to school with Enkei! That dude could put out more wheels than anyone else I knew. Awesome work ethic.
