Are the wheels on Yellow Dragon Snake reproduced by any one

I believe that the wheels on the yellow car are spline drive American Racing items. I suspect that they are rare, although a good friend and fellow Cobra Club member had them on his 289 back in the 70s. I've attached a pic showing them.
It's interesting to note that the Harr Ford 427 ran the 6-1/2"/8-1/2" FIA comp wheels instead of the wider Halibrands found on the SC and Comp 427s. I have to wonder whether it was a coincidence that the Hoppe/Motion 427 drag car ran the same combo. Carl Mentz (who owned CSX3159 in the mid-70s) and I worked a deal in 1974 wherin I traded that set for two 9-1/2" Halibrands for my 427.
