Several of these cars from this rough time period including Moffet's Mustang and the Sidichrome Mustang, among others, are sporting these distinctive mag type wheels. What were they, particularly the ones seen here on the Indy Speed Shop car?
Thanks.

I'm no expert here Steve but they look a lot like American Racing Standard Slots

Could well be. They have the same angular holes as opposed to the kidney bean style slots.
I've heard, but don't know, that Moffet's car used ROH? The thing that strikes me, not knowing the average duration of a typical race meet that these cars raced in, is the use of the slot style mags as opposed to either the Torque Thrust style spoked affairs or the Minilite style wheels. That's why I'm so curious about the spun aluminum slot mags and whether it was the ease of fitment, width/backspace options, or if they are in fact strong and withstood the rigors of racing.

If anyone has a line on the exact company/model of slot type wheels these cars used or any contact information for the racers such as Moffet or Jane(or friends/relatives that might be in the know), etc. I'd be most appreciative and interested in finding out more.


Thanks.
