Default What wheels are these?

Hi folks. Thanks for all good advise to date.

Going thru my recently purchased car. Way too much fun.

Before seeking original 58 wheel/caps and some whitewall cokers, I will enjoy the wheels and tires on it today.

Can anyone tell what wheels these are from the pic below?
The spinners have a hex set screw behind one of three spokes but once loosen how do I pull the spinner?
Any ideas for a soft brush or way to keep these spokes clean without removing the wheels?

All suggestions welcome.

thanks cbo

There are a few popular wire wheel possibilities.
Dayton, Zeneth, and Truespoke to name a few.
My guess is Truespoke but I'm not sure.

A typical bottle brush from WALMART or a fancier one from an auto parts supply will do it.

Thank you Fred. Do you recall if all three blades on the spinners have a set screw. Trying to remove the spinners to polish them.

Thanks

They could be Kelsey-Hayes. We had a '62 Pontiac at the Museum that had wheels that were identical to the ones shown.
