You'll note that those wheels are 14". Long before there were Panasport
wheels for the TR's, it was common for guys who wanted after market wheels
to use 14" wheels that typically fit Datsun 240Z's. There weren't many
aftermarket 15" wheels readily available back in those days to fit the TR's
due to clearance problems at the tie rod ends.
I think but can't be sure that those wheels were made by AR. I do remember
that someone in our club had them on his TR6 back in the 70's and they
worked fine.
Hope this helps some,
