Can't help with those but Fenton Sharks really trip my trigger!
I think they look kinda like the Hotwheels wheels as well.

I finally found out what these wheels are!
They are a Radir wheel, offered for sale at select performance dealerships such as Motion. The ones I've found online have a GM bolt pattern only, which is no good for my Mopar.

i have these 15x4 Keystone magnesium wheels 4.5 bolt pattern and 2' back space i have been trying to find info on with no luck.
This is a cropped pic taken from a Hot Rod photospread where they lay out all the new speed equipment at a dragstrip and take pics. I will see if I can find it, but I don't recall much info about the wheels being mentioned.

If you really want to run the wheels, why not just redrill the axles/hub on the car? (assuming you did not want to redrill/insert the wheels for what ever reason)

There was a "KIT" offered one year in the mid 60s for the Barracuda. It included a lot of body bolt on pieces and IIRC it included those Radir wheels. I have an article around somewhere about it. Always thought they were pretty neat looking wheel. Def. different. 
That's the Barris car, there's still a couple/few still out there. I'll post on the BOG and seeif anyone has the article talking about them. Barris used Radir's on a lot of his cars including the Batmobile.

This is the wheel in the first picture, yes a Radir (not Rader). These wheels are no longer in production.
I could get a set of adapters, yes, but so far I haven't found a set of these wheels for sale anywhere!!!
Any idea what the model name of this wheel is?

The OP's wheel is not a Radir. First of all, Radirs weren't being made when that picture was taken. They are a relatively new company.
Secondly,look at the rim between the spokes. Definitely different.
The 15 x 4s were for skinny front tires for drag racing but you already knew that.
If I looked through all my old magazines I would probably find them but I choose not to do that.
R.
I had always thought "Radir" was the correct and original wheel company name, and "Rader" was an incorrect spelling, but the original Batmobile ran Rader wheels and I just Googled this interview with the founder of Rader Wheels, Richard Rader:
http://www.1966batmobile.com/rader.htm
From the article:
"Rader only made two one piece cast aluminum wheels. One was a cast Magnesium dragster wheel 16X13 (Superlite Rader) and a one piece cast aluminum car wheel 14X6."
