Default Motor Wheel Spyder's ?

I ended up with a set of VERY nice 15" Spyder's this weekend as partial payment for a 440 6-BBL motor that I built for a customer. These sure are COOL once cleaned up !! Did any Supercars get these from their respective dealers ? Two of 'em even have a set of M&H cheater slicks !!

Yes, they are not only listed, but also pictured in the catalog... here's a pic of a local PA car that used em to race with back in the day... sorry the pic is so dark but with a flash it wouldn't show up at all... i need to buy a scanner...

Nice score, Casey! Directly from the side they look a lot like a Chrysler rally...but as you change your angle of approach, you notice the detail. Awesome...

I'll get a better close up. Quite honestly, I *think* that the "spoke" area that I polished up, actually gets polished down closer toward the steel outer rim. I didn't polish that up yet, as I was doing it by hand, and I got tired of polishing ...... I need one of those little Dremel deals with the polishing pads on for my lazy-self ......
