was given 4 rims.....was told they were from the 60s, and fit fords, he also thought they were magnesium.......they look alot like the newr bullitt mustang rims size is 14 by 6 ......something else I found odd is that on some spots a magnet will stick and others it wont.....????

Also rims have delta stamped in them

Do I have anything rare on my hands here?

polished up those would be a real nice looking set of rims.

no idea what they are though

Think they were called American racing wheels,, some of the 60's stangs came with em,, Bullitt....R2R

Looks like american racing torque thruster series there is a few different styles on their website under vintage

whats the stud spacing on them? 70's z28's came with this style rim too. as well as 60's and early 70's mustangs. check the spacing on the rims. i believe if theyre GM the spacing would be 4.5 x 5 not sure on the ford,but most ford bolt patterns were larger than GM. i thought they also made these for the shoebox GM's of the 50's,but i could be wrong.hope this helps.

Those do look similar to torque thrusts, the center cap holes are right, but the spokes don't look right, they should be narrower. Those would of had a blasted finish on the spoke, and a machined finish on the lip, looks like they had unilug washers on em , but the stud holes are not elongated ???
