They look almost like cragar s/s wheels but the spokes are flat not rounded like cragar. Are these keystone knockoffs or? They are built very nice and are gonna work fine but curious of make. Inner rim is corroded and I cannot see any names on them maybe after I clean them I can find something. They are 14 x 7's. Thanks. Len P.S. cap mounting area is flat and not rimmed like cragar ss style. 5706078-cragar.bmp (1748 downloads)

Rocket wheels where pretty sharp looking, even next to a Cragar, looked more trim, these ET or Raiders made the Cragars look trim.

Here are some pics of a set I sold a while back (these were big dodge truck bolt pattern, same basic design though). The center caps do show up on Ebay from time to time.
