Look for some 1970 Trans Am race pictures, Parnelli Jones used Minilites occasionally on his Mustang. And AIR Roger Penske put yellow painted ones on Mark Donohue's '68 and '69 Camaros.

Those wheels appear to be Minilites or a good copy. You see the 10" diameter size on lots of old (original, teeny) Mini Coopers and some Lotus Cortinas, but they were (and probably still are) available for bigger cars (and tires!). I believe the Mustang and Corvette sizes may have more spokes.

Good eye. They are Minilite copies from Team III. A little bigger than the 10" used on Mini Coopers in the 60s and 70s. They are 17X9 on the back and 17X8 on the front. Eight spokes, true to the original design.

Ya know Tom, I might need 17" wheels to fill up the flares on my car. What is the size of your tires? 50 series? or 60's?

These are the ones I have used:

Nice product, and easy to install. I set my brake lights up to work in the burst mode, and they really get your attention. The timing is not adjustable, but I find the timing is perfect as-is. This is the unit that I used in the video of the 65 in the "six tail lights" thread. Go to the online instructions link, and it will show you all that is necessary to install.
