Look up American Racing VN427. These are a Shelby Cobra style wheel. The American Racing VN510 is also visually similar, but don't have the center "knock off".

Yep, what they said. I believe that they were one of the styles originally made popular by Halibrand and used on the Cobras like was said.
A couple of the Halibrand styles were used, but this is one of them I'm pretty sure.

I think in the last few years several companies have brought out their version of that style.

Aren't they the same style used on Eleanore Mustangs? There's maybe a way to find out what brand they use. I think theirs have the knockoff/spinner centers so that might be a clue.

I found them by looking up Eleanor Wheels on google.

Thanks Everyone! I appreciate your help. Appears they are not made to fit my 5 X 5 1/2 bolt pattern.

I was looking for 5 spoke chrome wheels. I would accept polished. But....I'm having a hard time finding them in the 5 X 5 1/2 pattern. I can find 15", but I've lowered my truck and after doing lots of research, I have decided to go with 18" wheels. Finding 18" in that old bolt pattern has proven to be a challenge.

Until i get my engine and trans back in and see how the truck is going to sit, I don't know how much clearance I'm going to have, or how much backspace I will need. My truck had a disc brake conversion kit put on it before I bought it. I have to be sure the new wheels clear the calipers.

Also, the wheels that are on the back now look really good. But the front wheels have too much offset (to the outside) and when the engine and trans are in, the tires are going to hit the fender. In order to keep the rear tires from being too recessed, I'm actually going to need to buy a staggered set of wheels, with the rear being 1" to 2" wider than the front.
