<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: LeeP</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Question of the year 2 experts. What would qualify and what would not for year two. I have a high resolution picture of my car in 1970 and I could blow up the wheel. They look polished in the pictures.

Original direct bolt pattern Ansens were not polished but only came in a machine finish.The Ansen Sprint II which were unilug came out polished I think they came out in 1970/1971.

Post a larger pic of your car and we might be able to tell by looking at the cap for sure. It appears the cap has a black center and with them being polished would lead to them being the Ansen Sprint II. No other wheel that I can recall had a black face center cap. ET's had dark green but I can tell by the pics they re not ET's.

Sam Griffith has them on his Yenko Deuce.

This 57 has Ansen Sprint II on it and on the side view looks like your wheels.

I believe this to be correct as well. I have a set of NOS Ansen Sprints and they are <span style="text-decoration: underline">not</span> polished. When I bought them they were in the original boxes but when the man shipped them to me he cut the boxes up and used original boxes as packing material. I will never understand why people do some of the things they do. here is one of the wheels. I stuck them all in extra boxes I had. This one just needs a good wipe down and its ready to go!
