Well, you could be right, but I think you should have said "those are NOT
MY american racing" wheels. ARE made about ten Torq Thrust style models, not just your originals. ARE did not use that imprint on all of its wheels (especially not with the offset info), at least not on the hundreds I sold. The wheels the OP pictured absolutely could be someone else's, I took my best guess, but I wouldn't go thinking that ARE made the Torq-thrusts the same way for their entire existence. They
did offer wheels with the slotted lug holes (5x4 & 5x5.5), IIRC. So did / does Cragar.
The inside work doesn't necessarily mean bad work, either, BTW. The ROH sport wheels made in the Torque Thrust styles for UK Ford Falcons looked very similar to these, and have stood up very well over the years.
