According to the Article in Hot Rod magazine they're custom built mini-lite lookalikes. I suspect they may actually be a wheel made by Vintage Wheel in the US?

Minilites and Superlites are quite different in the actual spokes, even though both have 8 spokes (10 spoke superlites are available too in some sizes)

Both colours look great and both sets of wheels suit the car, I personally would have had the minilites on the white version and the simmons on the red version. I wonder how much sponsership Myers are giving him.

Looks like Simmons V5 or similar, they had a few variations on the theme. I think it looks better in red!

Love the car, Love what he has done in the past and is doing with it now.

Love the fact he has a hot car and drives it like it should be driven!
