Chuck,

Those are American Racing Magnesium wheels, very light, sometimes porous (as
in leak air..) some what rare these days, and available in a variety of
widths....

In addition to being porous, they also tend to crack...have them checked.
Also, the magnesium corrodes easily, and burns like a sparkler.

I have 2 sets I use for vintage racing.

WST
