What's that style wheel called? Love them

They are the Watanabes linked in my post.
They are the Japanese equivalent of the original 8-spoked racing wheel from England, the Minilite.

The Watanabes were used on 510s and 240Zs among others for racing.

The Minilites were used on various race cars, up to and including Trans Am cars, like the Camaro, vette and AAR cuda.

Both were originally magnesium, but were not used for racing after various fires. The modern versions are aluminum, both original brands and replica brands.
