Hi Maz, have you tried AAA plating in Adelaide, i hear that they're good for doing things others won't. Worth a shot to ask. Gary

Not sure mate, look like a speedway style offset though. I reckon 1 of the other guys possibly shinny will know what they are, Gary.

Dave Mawer didn't start making two piece wheels until 1969, and I am sure that his first wheel was similar to you see on the LJs and Moffats Phase 3, but with four spokes and less bolts through the rim halves. (I think these were mainly for Clubman racers) Unless they are a prototype of some kind because they are a similar design.

There were however dozens of people making wheels in Australia in the late '60s - early '70s. Rod Dale, Tasman, Keel Wheels, CAC, Lynx, Cairns. Aunger were making two piece wheels back to 1968, and Tony Simmons had centres cast up for his wheels by Arthur Glassons foundry back in 1967.

I am joining the facebook group to have a look.
A couple more ads. It is interesting to note that he only does 10, 13, and 15" diameter.
