... but, I have never seen a front wheel drive with this system either.
They are called Dayton (aka "California") wheels, and they were popular in the heavy truck market before being displaced by the Budd system (with lug nuts) that is with us today. Mack was a big user. The Dayton system used a simple rim that was basically just a channel, however, the hub was a lot more complex casting. Dayton's could supposedly handle more weight, but were very hard to balance and service.
