Those are Foresight Ventures Drag Mag wheels, as their Indy 500 wheels have solid webs. The closest wheel I can think of are the 14" custom wheels from JO-HAN's '70 Cadillac Eldorado kit, but I've never seen the Drag Mag in resin, Craig.

Well then we need 'em in resin! ;) B)

These are the JO-HAN Cadillac Eldorado wheels I mentioned above, and are IMHO the closest available kit wheel:

Hah! I think the AMT '68 Toronado might have had those, too, or something very very similar.

I have these in my collection. I got them in a wheel lot that I bought so I don't know the source.  They are a little different from the ones Casey posted. The spoke recess is flat as well as the grease cap.

for future reference...

instead of taking a photo of a picture on your computer monitor, you can perform a "screen shot".

to perform a screen shot (on a Windows PC, not sure about other brands),

1. hold down the shift key then press the "print screen" key then release both keys

2. open Paint (or any other graphics program), MS Word (or probably any other word processor program) then hold down the Ctrl key and press the Y key and release both keys.

3. you should see what was on your monitor (including icons and the task bar at the bottom of the screen) has been pasted into a file which you can save/edit.

You can then upload it to a web photo site and link it to be seen here.

How about the ones in the AMT '32 roadster? 

Pretty close too and quite deep.

IIRC those wheels have no lug nuts and the wheel center/hub are is huge in relation to the overall diameter. I think the hub center has a small stud on it, too. Perhaps there was a spinner nut provided to use with the wheels in an early issue?

These appear closer to Cragar's GT wheels to me, but they are very close in style.

The wheels I posted above measure .615" in diameter, so close to 14" in 1/25 scale.

The wheels I posted measure 17mm O.D. or 17" in 1/24 scale.  My guess is they would be consider 15" wheels.

These wheels are available in resin from Danny at Scenes Unlimited.
