    No they are not the same. Have a look at the Gooney Bus thread if I'm not mistaken they are Mexico steels, very rare.



    And a picture of a Mexico steel wheel I took at teh AVO National Day last year

    Don't look right

    I would say the top 2 wheels are not correct, and trust your life to a banded wheel??

    Here are some pictures of a set that were sold on EBay a few weeks ago. If I remember they sold for just over £200.
