    Photo isn't clear on the backside outer lip but I recall a wheel made by Fish Ent. that had an odd lip there, never could figure out why it was there.
    If it is from Fish, you do have some rare wheels.

    Looking for info on these magnesium wheels and tires. I think maybe early Halibrand four hole but haven't found ones that are finned like these. There are no marking that I can see.

    These were on the rear of my grandfathers Bonneville Studebaker.
    My father is on the left and my grandfather is on the right.
    This was 1967 or 68

  4. I put them on my vintage wheel group and they were identified quickly as Halibrands

    I like their marketing wording "Bonneville straight-away record assault wheel".

    Awesome. Thank You
     
  7. Halibrands will often have tag(s) cast into them indicating the size, model number, and other such identifying information.

    Here's an example:

    I saw that post, but the wheels in the photos aren't the same as the ones in the advertisement. The advertisement wheels have five windows, not just four.

    They're probably Halibrand... but they might also not be.
