They are the same wheels shown in the Clymer book.Different width & different
front to back, as I recall. I had a set which I sold to Wayne Boyd in
Narragansett, R.I., who still uses them. Careful, magnesium is porous & is
said to get brittle when old. They should be pretty coroded by now,huh? I
think I may still have a center cap.They were plastic, said "American Racing"
on them, & fastened with a single screw from the inside of the wheel. Al J.
