Hi Folks,
Anyone know what brand wheels were mounted on the original AIR bodywork Altec Lansing IMSA 914/6 (see photo) advertisement campaign? They're also featured on the car in the original "The Speed of Sound" poster from the mid 1970s.  Thanks, Mike |

Thank you!
EDIT: Hmmm, I don't see this specific pattern wheel from searching Jongbloed or vintage Jongbloed wheels... Could it be a custom center? |

Ok, I see now... ~11" Magnesium centers (polished?) with larger 17" inner & outer rim halves...

Those are going to be 15" or 16" diameter. Back then they didn't have 17" slicks.
