I love the Nova but I'm afraid I'd have to ditch the thermo-quad. Nice nostalgia piece but let's be serious! POS

"The cars are a bit loud and probably don't get more than 10 MPG....." BUT WHO CARES!!!!!!!!

Your eyes are fine, good catch.
Buried in the article it says: "the addition of Harrell's own brand of deck spoiler."

Those wheels are Kelsey Hayes "Strippers"... its a 20 spoke wheel that was used on a fair amount of Dick's cars. There were two types, Strippers and Satin Strippers. Satin Strippers had a black casting finish while regular Strippers were grey (ish) silver or gold. They came in 3 sizes... 15x7 are very tough to find, 15x6 are most commonly sold and 15x4 are pretty tough too.

Satin Strippers: Click Here

Here is a shot of my Camaro... 15x6's on all 4 corners...



Here is a DH Camaro with Strippers on it: (sorry for the size)

An original KH magazine ad:






Credit Steve Sandlin for this picture!
This is from his old DH Camaro... note the correct exposed lip of the wheel:



A set of 3 claimed to be NOS Strippers just sold on ebay for $300. I have a list of the current prices. I know a member here was (or is) selling a complete mint set for around a $1000.

NOS Satin Strippers: Click here!

Hope this helps!
