What do we know about these wheels?

I think the car is a replica but the wheel tire combo is interesting, obviously not 15". Didn't someone here say these wheels would look awful if they were made larger than 15"?

Could be a Photoshop job?

Those are 18-inch ... made in Australia a long time ago if I remember correctly.

Front and rear had different 'telephone dials':
