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?
There were a few others companies like Radir (some spell it Rader or Radar) as well as Fenton and Hurst that made these 5 spoke wheels with different designs...



Sears Roebuck also sold some el' cheapo knock offs...



These Radir wheels are called 'Tri Rib' 5 spoke mags...



These 5 spokes were called 'Fenton Hawks' and have a ribbed edge...



And these are Fenton 'Sharks' that a lot of the racers used back in late 60's...
