They are rare and these look very good.

Offtopic: May I ask what are the colors in that Patrician? Mine are Ultramarine Blue and Moonstone White. I'm wondering if that's Ultramarine Blue or some of the other blue tones. Color code is MG which is a blue and white. Remember, colors on screen vary depending on a number of factors. The avatar snap is grossly oversaturated; the Grant snap is about right (to me, on my computer). The relatively common blue and blue blues are darker and lighter than my blue.

I took a pic of this original wire wheel. Someone had a set and thought there was a chance they were not original.
The wheel is stamped MADE IN U.S.A. BY MOTOR WHEEL To the left of the name and at right angles to it is stamped 15L _6 721

Here's a close-up of Motor Wheel's markings from another wheel from a 56 Carib. Photo courtesy of the Beard Bros.

There is a symbol to the right of the MADE IN.
I can't figure out what it means???

I assume it's Motor Wheel's corporate logo. I tried to enlarge it, but w/o much success. It's a stretch, but it looks a bit like a stick-figure of a man holding a wheel.

Maybe (some version of) this? This was their logo circa 1965.

Here comes the third attempt, although less creative. The below mentioned source keeps another version available, with "O" instead of "A".
