The AR wheels look a LOT like the 13" ones on my donor GT6 (I've attached a
.jpg of mine, but I don't think the lists allow pictures to be attached to
email).

If your 13" ones are Italian, my guess would be Fiat X19, but they don't look
familiar to me.

Have you looked at the backside for casting marks or other clues?  That's how
I learned my other set of wheels were Shelby California 500's.  What's the
bolt circle on a TR4A?
