I asked John Gilbert the same question.

I hope he doesnt mind me posting his answer.

"Those wheels were custom made for me by Rally America in Fresno, CA. They are C10 Rallys that were widened 1-inch to 8-inches. The centers are called a "toilet seat" and come from early Ford wire wheels. The hubcaps were made from re-pop '33 Ford hubcaps that were left blank and then a Chevy bowtie was stamped in. The hubcaps are extremely rare because Chevy filed some kind of lawsuit to make them stop producing them. "
