What wheels/flares are these?

Ok, I thought this was strange. I've been looking for examples of impact bumper cars with black trim, but with chrome Euro headlight trim and I came across this. This is from a 1974/5 (I think) brochure. The car in question is the orange one. The front wheels look like earlier 5.5" Fuchs maybe, but the rears are wider. And the rear flares on this car are wider, closer to RS or SC flares maybe? (I'm no expert on this, clearly.) Here's the really weird thing. I found another version of the same pic, in another ad/brochure but the orange car is suddenly what looks like a 74 Carrera, side script and ducktail included. Looks they retouched the pic to make the Carrera into a regular old mid-year, but didn't bother trying to make the flares narrower.

Here is a picture of a 79 ROW, black trim w/chrome headlight rings. The car is very original and mostly stock with the exception of polished wheels and an Alpine stereo. I picked her up last month to replace the 77 Targa that I sold about a year ago.
