They need re finishing, but are kinda cool... Called Rocket rims

Yes I remember those, quite popular in the late '70's, cast ally centre and a steel rim. Like Cragers, the rims rusted easily and the chrome peeled off the centres, refinishing really isn't an option.

Thanks Blue..... That is probably why they are so cheap... $125.

Either

1. the company is still going and has reappeared from the mists of time or

2. someone has started making these again

as I've seen new Rocket Racing wheels advertised somewhere.

Yep, I suspect it's not the original company though.
