Tried to match up one with the carbon arc, didn't work. Wrong size - what a shame, would have been unique. Instead my new wheels are for 6" PC fixtures. Still cool - clock work in the green one still works perfectly after all these years without even winding. Black one had a motor installed later which is busted.

The starlight effect on the black wheel is a black fabric with hand punched pinsized holes in it. The cloud effect in the green is mylar of some type that TBA will become glass disc.
