Default American Racing

Can anyone shed some light on these A/R wheels?
They look similar to a Cragar SS. My guess is they are pretty common but I haven't come across them before.
Thanks.

They are advertised on page 7 of the 1979 American Racing Wheels Catalog. They were called "Super Sport" wheels.

Huh, American Racing's marketing team decided on calling it the "Woody"

I'm shocked it did not catch on.......
