Default Jim's (Wheelhop) 69 parts car

Went with Jim to help load a 69 El Camino up. It has an unusual set of wheels on it.
Can anybody identify a wheel like this?
Also has a rare set of 66 Pontiac reclining headrest buckets.

OK, maybe not a parts car. But the non original motor is a 68 dated 396 which I want to use in my 69 Chevelle post car project. Rick will post some more pics, car (truck) is pretty rusty!

That wheel is a Indy 500. The Indy has a closed spoke unlike the Drag Mag, which is open. I have Drag Mags on my 442. I think they are the best looking vintage wheel ever made. And the one you have is a later knock off version. Reason I know is the valve stem hole is on the flat surface instead of in the spoke area.

I agree the Drag Mags are outstanding!

I agree with this statement aswell....the same can be said for other vintage Mags.
