------We used to call those Ten-Spokes back in the late 60s-early 70s. I cant remember the name of the manufacturer, however. They were sort of an entry level all aluminum wheel back then. Guys thought they were cool because almost all the back-spacing was deep reverse style. That was the south Florida style; wheels as far to the outside as possible, and jack it up for clearance if necessary!!!........Bill S

They are almost exactly like an Indy Speed Wheel...except for the open spoke..the Indy looks like a Hurst

I have A set of those in the garage. I thought they were cool too. Found them on an old Chevy S-10. Bought the truck, swapped out some old wheels and tires and sold the truck again.

Tommy,

-----While very similar and possibly made by the same manufacturer the wheels you show are different. Notice the hollowed out spokes. Thats where the ten-spoke moniker came from (at least in Florida). I rarely saw the ten-spokes outside of Florida, come to think of it........Bill S

Ive got a complete set of them in the garage. Mine have the original bullit center caps. I think the caps are harder to find then the wheels. gm pattern

I didn't notice the difference at first, mine are like the ones in the first post. I don't have the center caps either. I imagine the caps are hard to find. The offset is A little odd but still A neat old wheel.
