Fenton GYRO Racing Wheels

[oldcarnut]

I was taking the slotted mags off the 70 RR I recently bought to see about getting some new tires to replaced the bias ply tires.  Three of them are 14 x 6 and have what looks like the inside rim edge extended out some (thicker) with a groove and the other two 14 x 7 do not.  All 5 have Gyro racing rims by Fenton cast in them and SEMA approved emblems and statements cast in them too.  They look like old alum slotted mags to me but I don't recall the Fenton name or Gyro from back in day.  Are they just everyday rims  or something a little different?

Searched on ebay and found a cheby wheel like it but the wheel lip has me a little puzzed.  I don't see it on this one but its a 14 x 7 too.  Maybe its only on the 6"ers.

Seems like maybe just another old brand of custom wheels.

I remember Fenton wheels but I can't recall the Gyro.  That either means I'm older than I think or they were around longer than the 60's.

Thanks for the input guys  .  I'm taking the tires off today and gonna polish them up some.  After that they're gonna go on the 70 Challenger and the rims/tires from the Challenger are going for use on my SB clone.  I'll check around some to see what's the best alum mag polish to use. I use to have a set of ET slots like these on my Charger back in the 70's
