I am looking for who made these front wheels. I know the rears are "Flys". The fronts are not Centerlines, very close though. I have seen them on other vehicles in the past.
So the bartender says to the horse " Gee, Why the long face?"

I'd be willing to bet they are Fenton's.I had a set of those on a 76 Aspen,and they looked exactly the same.

crager is my openion. the fentons did not have the polished look. crager was the more expensive wheel in those day. think about this. there was a machinest in Knoxville, tn in about 1971 who machined a set of front and rear wheels for a 1966 dart gt out of solid billet aluminum. the dart was the original PISON dart. Bill Payne was the owner driver and his dad was the Machinest. A 273 2x4 tunnell ram bad boy for the day.

the one thing 100% is they are not is a Crager super trick. I own 12 sets .
I pumped up the pic and they are nothing like any wheels I have ever seen.
with so much happening on it first I was thinking hub caps
it for one thing new to me is that ring of rivots or bolts 3 or 4 inches from the bead.
working from the outside there's 3 lines,rings or steps on it before meeting the a raised part
that is looking like there's a large bevel where the studs are.
then beveled inward towards the
flats where the lugs are
??????????????????

Fentons indeed...picked up a 15x4 and 15x9 set ~8 years ago at a swap meet, used the fronts on the Dart...no idea what happened to the rears.
