Thanks for the kind words. They are "Old School" for sure.

I bought those wheels off eBay. They were in fairly rough shape cosmetically, but they aren't bent or warped.

I was able to machine them and modify them slightly from the original look.
The fins extended all the way down to the lugs and the hole pattern wasn't symmetric with the fins.

I machined off about 1/16" to smooth up the lug hole area and I radiused the ends of the fins to blend into the center.
Polishing was just too labor intensive, so I had them powder coated.

There were no center caps and I could not find any that would fit. So I machined some from 4" billet aluminum bar.
There just aren't many choices nowadays for 6 lug wheels.
