Default what is that wheel ?

Does anybody know what is that wheel ? I saw it today on a car at a friend's place. All I know is that they are 15 inch. I'm guessing they're from the mid to late sixties ?

They are called 'Drag Mags'. They were made by a company called Foresight Ventures I think. Or Foresight Industries. The molds were sold and some other companies made them. Mid or late 60's. I have a set on another car but mine are 14s. I Googled vintage mag wheels and found a set of 14s for sale online for about $650. I need a spare but they only had sets. Mine are 14x6 and have a 3" BS. The guy who sold me the car said people like the ones with holes in them more but in the photo above I think both are Drag Mags. Its cast in small letters between the spokes.
