Hot Rods Wheel discs: what are these

My neighbor picked these up last week. They are made of stainless steel. The edges and center are polished. The main body a brushed finish. They cover a 16" wheel completely and look to be screw mounted.

 

Appear to be a pair of "Lyon crafted racing discs." Lyon was a manufacturer of aftermarket hub caps in the fifties, those may be meant to resemble the aluminum Moon discs.

 

is this a trick question?

 

Reading is fundamental...........

 

They were made for a Henway

I've seen Lyon hubcaps, Lyon wheel covers, and Lyon spoke covers. I've never seen these before.
I know Lyon made OEM wheel covers in the 50's for several Detroit manufacturers, and a large variety of aftermarket ones. I've never seen these advertised anywhere. I'd be interested knowing how old they might be and if anyone has seen or used them.
