[FC] Genuine FC steel wheels.

Andrew,

Attached is a photo of a '61 FC wheel.   It has the nubs for the full sized hubcap (see red circle) Not sure if the nubs were dropped in later FC production.  The easiest way for me to identify a FC wheel is that it has the wide ledge for the bead on the front and narrow bead ledge on the rear . . .  which means the tire should be mounted and dismounted from the back side of the rim.
