Yep! Good call on that. I remember having those on my first Mongoose in the seventies. I had the first generation ones... sandblasted with polished side lips (caliper braking surface). Should have never sold those in the eighties.

For your Motomag viewing pleasure. Back when products were still produced in California (let alone the United States).

Those are Kimtab snowflake motorcycle rims from the 70's.  Pretty rare nowadays.  Not a great pic but you get the idea.

That makes sense. It also explains why I had never seen them on a car befpre.
