And a generic spinner hat kit. I did the hex caps on a pair of center lines 20 years ago

Those look similar to Pro Stock Centerlines but they're not. Pro Stock Centerlines have a very unique angled countersink machining operation performed on the holes and are also riveted construction. The Nova wheels have had the rivets/bolts (usually plastic fakes!) removed from the smaller holes around the circumference.

Thanks for all the replies yes it does look like all the small holes had rivets that some one removed at one time. I really do not like the way they look on the car and want to sell them and thats why I wanted to know what brand they were. I either want to go with cragars s/s or aluminum slots. Thanks
