Yeah those ones have less spokes. I always keep my eyes out for old school wheels. I'm sick of seeing bling blings on everything personally.

bfofish did you get em cleaned up yet?

I have a set of each wheel here, the hurricanes came on my 75 Chevy LWB, and the others came on my 64 Chevelle when I got it back in 1985, but they are 14" wheels.

A company named ET made some up until about 1991. A was going to buy some 15"x 10"s for my 88 jimmy but the tire store talked me out of it. They found me a set of 4 but they told me that since they were out of production I couldn't get a replacement if one got damaged. I went with American Racing outlaw II's. Kinda regret it.

I bought a set of brand new aluminum slots for my camaro in high school. American Racing Indy's. 14"x8" rear, 14"x7" front. That was cutting edge back in the day.

I beliee the turbine rims on my 1980 GMC (see pic) came from a 1976 Firebird Formula.
Are they factory GM rims or aftermarket?

What's wrong with ARE outlaw 2's ?   I love those wheels.

I guess it's just personnel taste. It just seems like back mid 80's to early 90's there were allot more choices as far as 15" rims and 16.5" rims. Now all of the manufacturers are concentrating on 22"s.
It's not like I hated the rims or anything, I just don't think you can beat a pair of aluminum slots or turbine rims on one of our trucks.
