The wheels on the Ruby Speedster are not what Kevin has for sale. Those are wide-five Alex Bivens wheels. The black speedster's 5 lug wheels are probably McAfee wheels. Those wheels were produced by a company in SoCal for Jack McAfee, a famous Porsche racer and car dealer. He had McAfee Motors and wanted an alloy wheel to offer to customers with the disc brake cars before Porsche developed the Fuchs alloys. The McAfees are pretty rare and are nice period correct accessory wheels for a 5 lug disc brake Porsche. The wheels that Kevin are very similar to the McAfees and may have been made at the same company. They look nice on a Speedster and are essentially a McAfee wheel for 4 lug cars McAfee also sold VWs and sold the 4 lug wheels as options on his cars.http://www.jackmcafee.com/7.html
Agree with the McAfee ID. John Fitch produced a highly similar but smaller wheel for the Corvair in the '64-'67 timeframe - these were cast by "Hands" wheels and I think the foundry was in the Pomona, California area. Whether this foundry was the source for McAfee/Gurney or other brands is unknown to me. But these wheels, by any manufacture/name were marketed almost entirely for the West-coast market.
