Appliance : Torq Thrust wheels seem to have used the same quality of aluminum material as did American Racing.

14X7.........3 1/4"........4 5/8"
15X6.........3"...............4 1/8"
15X7.........3"...............5"
15X8.5......3 1/2"........6"
* * Appliance 14 " Torq Thrusts are almost ringers for American Racing 14 " wheels.
* * There are 2 different Appliance 15 x 8.5 castings.
One has the deep recess lug nuts. The other does not.
* * *
They both machine with fine curly aluminum and both polish very easy.
Cheaper cast wheels machine with chips or pieces of aluminum.
The 14 x 6 & 7 " Appliance wheels are the closest to the American Racing castings.
There are differences in the 15 " wheels.
The polished lips are all similar with Appliance wheels All are close to a 90 degree as they meet the spokes and the lug
hole recess is about 3/8 "
American Racing the 6 " & 7 " are close to 90 and the 8.5 has more like a 45 as the lip meets the spokes.
The washer recess tends to be smooth or 1/8 "

There are 2 different 15 x 8.5 offsets ( I do not have measurements for 2 nd wheel)
International Dragmaster and US wheels are very close in appearence to each other as are the back space numbers.
Castings are rougher than American or Appliance.
