Default Rim ID

I have rim with the letters GM, also N and T stamped in the area of the lug holes. It has 4 nibs I assume are to hold a hub cap on. I see no other markings, it has a 775x15 Donlop mounted on it. Came as a spare for my 64 vette. Any ideas? original or?

Thanks.....

Sounds like a 1956-62 style rim. Is it welded or riveted?

You won't know what it is or when it was made unless you dismount the tire so you can see those stamps on the inside of the rim.
