Default Wheel Brand?

Would anybody have an idea what brand of wheels these are and where one might get the spinners that go on them?
Have to be honest, I have not jacked it up to look on the inside.
Also, any clue on the side pipes? Never have seen either. Both currently on a '66 Convertible. Side pipes may go back a while. Wheels were added fairly recently.

TIA,
PO

well I believe the side pipe covers are factory American Motors AMX from around 1969 or so and the wheels are direct bolt on copys of the factory KO's. you can get the spinners, center cones and covers from Eckler's. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. its my best guess anyway.
Enjoy,
Chris

Ok, point taken. That was just the first place that came to mind. How about Paragon, Corvette America, Wilcox, volunteer, Corvette Central?
But the OP real question was, what and where, I was just trying to inform.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, it looks like I am missing the cones, the triple spinners, and maybe an insert cap to the spinner. The guy I bought it from thinks they may be at a shop he had it at. Several hundred dollars worth of pieces IF I did the math right. Didn't realize they were that nice of wheel with the funky look without the fake knockoffs .

Previous Owner,
Those are direct bolt on knock off style wheels. You need the cones, spinners and caps, along with the aluminum pins that hold the spinners in place.

Corvette America has everything - mine came from here as well.
Here is what you need:

Good luck!

Thanks USMC. Still hoping the previous shop has them lying around somewhere. Sorry for the dumb question. Guess I'm used to the old, knock 'em off with a lead hammer, style.
