Rob,
Any markings on the back?

Look like a Western Wheels Turbine but that was copied by a few other companies too...

American Racing Vector, which is still being made but I believe only in a 5-lug wheel now.

Oh sorry, didn't mean to give out a nasty link ...

Hmmm, just tried it on Firefox 50.0.2 and it worked without incident. Also tried Chrome and Safari ... no problems.

The only markings are the load data, that's it.
