    I know Dan Gurney wheels had a similar style.

    Those Gurney wheels didn’t have the built in knockoff mount as part of the wheel. Also the Hands wheels predate them by quite a few years. They were never very common, Tex Smith’s XR6 was the most notable car that I can remember running them. 38D3BAA1-C996-432D-8827-9038CEBBDAC5.jpeg

    The great pair that SNS Fab has are definitely Halibrand like 33 willys said. I have only ever seen two versions of the Palamide rear wheel. The eyebrow style is real scarce compared to the smooth style. A lot of them ended up double drilled for multiple pattern.

    Don't forget the Bill Thomas/Mike Jones 361 corvair. This car was a winner in road and drag racing and was later run by Doug Roe. It was the test bed for all of Bill Thomas's performance parts including the development of the 140 big valve heads.

    Wheels are on a old home made trailer that I picked up, made by Hayes industries, Jackson Michigan.
    The best I could find out is that they made automotive wheels, but these look like old aircraft wheels to me.

    The wheels were original equipment on the Boeing Stearman bi plane.
    My dad had the same wheels on a trailer for his floatplane.
    Very cool look without the wheel covers.

    6 Slot American Dragmasters. 6" and 8 1/2" X 15" Will live on '35 Ford pick-up. I've had these on four different cars over the last 45 years. The truck will be the final resting place. I THINK.

    Those are sweet. Never seen Rocket 4 spokes either. Cleaned up they would look great.

    I’ve just recently picked these up. No stamping or marking of any kind. 3 piece magnesium wheels. Each piece is magnesium. 15x9, 5x5 and 5x5.5 bolt patterns. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    So people supposedly in the know, constantly ask me, "When ya gonna put some fancy wheels on that hot rod?" Response is always the same. It has fancy, and old wheels on it already. Skinny ones in the front, and wide ones on the rear. Those are the same people who ask when I'm going to paint the bugger. It already is !! A at Bonnie.jpg

    These are Astro 15x6 GM bolt circle 2 piece.
    I am supposed to get them down to Chevy57dude. Probably not very rare but uncommon
