Those are the wheels.
This was the wheel in the late 70's and early 80's.
This is the wheel we ran at the drag strip and on the street. (Not for a daily driver!)
My friend had one 15 X 4 develop a leak around a rivet of one of the rims. The speed shop was nice enough to replaced the wheel, and never had a problem after.
The wheels have lasted from the early 1980's to 2015 and may be going back on his car after the frame off is completed.
We are trying to find out if they fit the day two mould as well as the early drag car mould?
We have been searching the internet for information but have not been able to get a release date.
I totally agree handle with care. We did not flat tow with these rims and street miles were always with eye open for pot holes.
The car was set up for the strip so carving corners was never a concern as in rim side loading.
Thanks again for all reply's

Bernhard
