Light Weight GS Wheels?

    I found these on my neighbor's old 57 Chevy. I had always thought they were Buick wheels until I got closer one day.... Aluminum centers and steel rims. They were sold by a favorite retailer in the 60's/70's and manufactured by a large OEM wheel maker. Any guesses?

    We have a winner! I must admit, I didn't know that that was a Sears logo though:Do No: They have "Sears", and "KH" (Kelsey Hayes I think) cast into the back of the centers.

    These would be really cool on a GS, painted to look as close to the stock wheels as possible. I bet it would take a pretty perceptive person to notice the difference.

    KH is indeed Kelsey Hayes wheels. Kinda what I meant when I said Shelby, but I was brain cramping and couldn't think of it.
