    I think those are some rare Kelsey-Hayes wheels, that had are defect problem.
    Kinda look like early Dodge Dakota too.

    I threw a set of four in the dumpster in 1975.....ugly wheel of the century award. I think they were called spiders.

    Yeah I think they were called Motor Wheels Spiders. When I was searching ebay for spider caps, these kept coming up. I think they might be worth a buck to musclecar guys (Mopar?) for some reason.

    I remember seeing a set of those on a fat fender sedan at York sometime in the last 15 years. If I remember the car was a tan/yellow and it looked pretty cool in a "different" sort of way.

    Yep, Motor Wheel Spyders. I have a 15x7 set of those keeping my '58 Ford project of the ground.

    They look pretty good when mounted on muscle cars.
