Toronado Wheels ? And....

Hello all, I was looking at some sort of "do it yourself " website at ideas for rocket stoves and saw this one. Looks a lot like Toronado wheels to me. Wonder how many are going to that final use? I haven't been here for quite a while or done any work on my '66, February brought REAL winte...
