Hmmmm... I have a set of 4 of these, or something that looks EXACTLY like 'em. Came on an '86 GMC I recently aquired... wondering Vile; what is the demand like for these wheels? And why are the called hurricane style?

a lot of people associate them with Dodge because of the General Lee...although the trucks/Ramchargers did wear 'em for a while...

those are cool wheels though...

You forgot another "Team" that made them popular for the GM Family(In red no less!)
BTW: the General actually wore AR Vectors, which is the same wheel that the Buick Grand National's had..  Hurricanes were the Truck/Van wheels that the Big3 used on several of the models (I want to say that they were manufactured by AR as well)....  AR recently reissued the Vectors, due to all of the General fanatics that wanted to replace they damaged originals(Too many Curb and Ditch jumps I guess! ;D)..

The Dodge rims are on a dodge van I use for storing windshields, side , rear glass, headers, manifolds, oil pans, valve covers. 98% of which fit 73 to 87 Chevy trucks. The 8 lug set are sitting in the back of an 84 C20 future project / or parts truck with bald 33x12.5s on them.
