By "George" I think you got it. It certainly looks backwards to me. When you search for Lotus 30 most of them had a 4 spoke wheel. Those are 5. Maybe search for some other similar cars of that era, maybe get an idea of some 5 spoke wheels

You're all wrong. The wheel's name is Norbett. He's not backward just very shy. ;)

the wheel being on backwards is cause the backspacing would not allow it to fit on the lotus any other way and when you want to get your car on a trailer you do what a got to do.
Well my guess for the wheel was way off base I thought it looked like a kal Kustom from the mid sixties.

Definately not a Huffaker Genie. I have one, and that is not even close. The tail piece is hand
formed aluminum, probably made to replace the original Lotus piece. There was a Lotus 40 which
had been heavily modified to run Can-Am, and re-named the Cherokee. This might be it while it
was being built. The wheel has the same style as the Compomotive wheels, but they were three
piece.
