The Hands wheel copy has been identified!
Thanks to: Rick, Rob, Mike, and Wade
Several have mentioned that Dan Gurney sold a "Hands-like" wheel, plus I also
learned that the wheel was marketed under the Offenhauser name. Another
knock-off was made by Western wheel but looked identical; these are the ones I
used to purchase at low cost in the 70's. Perhaps Western was the actual maker
of the Gurney and Offy wheel?
Just for fun, here's a picture of both the Hands and Gurney wheels provided
by a Rob Landers: (Hands on the left, Gurney/Offy/Western(?) on the right)

Next step for me: Round up a set of these in 14", 5-bolt configuration.
Anyone have a set?
Thanks to all
