Were these a GM wheel?
Permalink  

I don't know a whole lot about anything but even less about wheels.  Ended up with a couple of them on these cars. It has a bow tie on the centre cap.

Is that an alloy centre in a steel hoop? Either riveted or welded? We got something similar here in Australia called a Dragway wheel, except spokes were rounded rather than flat.

Yeah something very similar. There is a fastening of some type inside the rim. Just did a quick look at it as I moved it out of the way.
