Re: What wheels are these?
Pretty close... Very similar in style, but the spoke count and center are different. I don't have a pic, but the center has male threads to accept the knockoff.

Re: What wheels are these?
The center hub looks very strong, Phil may be onto something, EMPI maybe? Early 70s.

Re: What wheels are these?
Knew I had seen them or something VERY close. Keystone Rowdy or Turbo III are very close, still think it's a western, but there were lots odd ones, like Shelby had clones of everything.
They look GREAT, and the offer still stands, I asked first

Re: What wheels are these?
Dave, I think this is as close as we will get for now. I suspect it is some kind of clone or cousin of the Keystone Rowdy. The one you found the pic of is still for sale on ebay in the UK. As it turns out, it does not have threads for the center cap.
Maybe when the old tires come off there will be a sticker or something that will be revealed. I am going to touch them up a bit and hang on to them, but I'll let you know if I change my mind.
Thanks to everyone that provided input.

Re: What wheels are these?
I figured you would keep them. It's nice to have an almost one of a kind set of wheels.

Re: What wheels are these?
Rather than going to a smaller tire, what about going with a smaller aspect ratio? I noticed those tires are 195/70s, you could run a 195/60 and possibly have the clearance. Its just a thought.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Re: What wheels are these?
I had the old tires dismounted today. No indications on brand or model of the wheels. It will remain a mystery.
