Anybody know who makes these wheels?

I believe one of the companies who makes these are "American Racing" but does anybody know other brands who make this style wheel?

BRE makes Libre wheels. 

[Zup]

Shelby, Rockwell and U.S. Mag were contemporary manufacturers of the Libre design that, I believe, originated and was initially produced in magnesium by American Racing Equipment for track use .

ARE was heavily involved in the growing aftermarket alloy wheel market for Domestic and Import automobiles.

The design was so popular, especially after the successes of BRE on the track, that they were quickly copied by these competing companies.

Branding was found inside the rim in the casting. There were variations in the castings made by each manufacturer, some with more reinforcing "webs" or "ribs" and different internal sectional profiles.

I have owned sets of the Rockwell and U.S. Mag versions and can attest to the fact that in some aspects they were inferior in quality of construction to the ARE product. 

I currently have 2 sets of the original genuine ARE Libres and, in my completely biased opinion, consider them (and the Le Mans design) to be the most period correct alloy rims for a 240z (14") or 510 (13").

The only company currently offering this "Libre inspired" design is VTO. They also offer the Le Mans design.

BRE has partnered with VTO to provide them.
