Maybe the Fenton decal is a giveaway, but I sure don't remember them making those wheels. I mostly remember chrome slots and black spoke mags from them.

For trivia points, anyone remember the two other "brothers" to the Cragar SS while used the same style?

Here are three Oldsmobiles; I have more but have to figure out how to reduce the size for uploading.

During this era I was racing a 340 Duster with that stupid 4" bolt circle so I was limited to Ansen aluminum slots unless I wanted to redrill the hubs/axles. I do have to admit that Mopar's craziness saved my wheels, though. One morning I came out to my car to discover two wheels on the same side and three twisted off lugs between them.

Good thing the thieves weren't smart enough to know about left handed threads.

From info I found, Loren Zeedyk with Dragway Automotive of Ohio owned, raced and/or sponsored quite a few cars back in the 70's into early 80's before he started Zeeker Chassis.

The other wheels used the same center casting, but one had a black finish center with chromed rim and the other had a natural cast center.

At least that's how I remember them.

I still remember how odd the Super Tricks looked the first time I saw them. We went from the classic good looks of the S/S to the pure function of a disk wheel.
