No info on the wheels but...

The date is unknown but the photo credit is given to one "Et[ien] Cornil". Does anyone recognise these wheels? Careful inspection of the cooling holes shows that they're not the 80s/90s Technomagnesio replicas, and certainly not the Hein Brand/Compomotive items.
I'd LOVE to get my hands on a set of the early square-hole style of wheel but, for now at least, can anyone add any info on the wheel below?
Cheers,
Alex.

Happy to meet you again through the BB.
Your pic is very interesting for 2 reasons.
1 - The pic itself, a good -rare- view of the famous square rounded ELEKTRON whell of the Ti Super (I call these 'Nessie': everybody's talking about this item but nobody did actually see one set in real)
2 - The author of the picture was Etienne CORNIL (Belgian, not French... )
(small history, out from the book described below...)
He is considered as one of the great names in automotive journalism, even if he left the profession for many years. Born in Belgium in 1935, he wrote what he thought of cars during his engineering studies in Brussels. In 1960, he settled in Italy and became the recipient of the “Revue technique Automobile de Berne” and other international magazines.
He was invited for all the introductions of new vehicles performed by the Italian manufacturers, including the presentation of the new Giulia Ti Super (24 april 1963 on Monza racetrack)
This is certainly the day the pic was shot as everybody agree to say that all the Ti Supers available for the presentation were fitted with Alfin ‘SS like’ drums.
Étienne Cornil was also, until 1979, editor of the monthly magazine of "Associazione Tecnica dell'Automobile". He gave up journalism in 1969 to become the press officer of Lamborghini before being hired, two years later, by Fiat then Fiat Auto. Étienne Cornil has worked at Fiat Auto until 1999 as director of publications in the advertising department, within the commercial and marketing division. He was also member of prestigious associations "Guild of Motoring Writers" and “Society of Automotive Engineers" (SAE)
He is also the co-author in 1966 of a book entitled ”Ferrari par Pininfarina, terchnologie et beauté” –No need for translation here- (Edited by Style Auto, and reissued in 1990 by Giorgio Nada Editore, the well known Italian publisher.

I've been finding out a lot about TI Supers lately due to having one in the shop to restore. The devil to find out what is or is not original.
Some had one sunvisor, others two, etc...

I doubt that this car had drum brakes, at least not as big ones as in the other picture. Unfortunately they did not allow me to remove a wheel

Excellent images 
Now, with all due respect to those individuals and companies who have produced 'emulations' of these wheels in the past, WHY is it so hard to get the details right?!
I'm puzzled.

I happen to have museum pics of a TI S WITH drum brakes clearly visible. (in arese)
Then again, how many do they have?
OTOH, I have the spare parts manual at hand, and yes the first had drums...

Anyone know the chassis number of the Ti Super in the museum?
I have been trying to get that for a long time to add the car to the Register

Does anyone know how many different companies make the TZ/TI Super replica wheels?
There's a Japanese company that advertises some 15x6x33 TZ/TI wheels. I haven't seen them advertised anywhere else and I'm curious who makes them.
I really like the looks of the Campagnolo wheels with hubcaps. Most of the replicas are not drilled for clip-on hubcaps. Has anyone made the modification?

Hein Brand, and Autoparco in Japan. Seen both, love the Autparco's.
The HB's are well, second choice.

I was told somewhere that Porsche 356 hubcap clips can be pop riveted onto aluminum repro TZ wheels.
