    Can anyone help I.d. these wheels ? There are no markings on the inside except ( 15 x 8 ) I know they are aluminum and they look like there from the 70s. And if you know what center caps are suppose to be on there ?
    Thanks.

    They are not the same as vectors ( Bo and Luke ) I also dont think they are westerns, Westerns were usually marked on the inside.

    I've seen so many pics with em on them and they were even on mine, that I wonder if they weren't a fact. option on 78-79 Dodge Magnums. Mine had no markings on them and the center caps were long gone also. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that lead. Coulda been that Magnum owners were likely to buy no-name mags at Sears tho too!

    they are American Racing "Specters". They were just like the Vectors, but more ribs. They were fairly popular in the mid 80s
     
  8. They are either; #1 choice "Bluelines" which was the aluminum wheel company across the street from Keystone Wheel Co.:D on Bon View in Ontario, CA, back in the late 70's, which Keystone actually bought and closed them and used their foundry techiques to make their own aluminum one piece wheels; or #2 choice they are Rocket Wheels:eek:.

    I am leaning towards Bluelines though.

    I worked for Keystone and Appliance wheel company (that actually was called "Dynamark", which was a "holding company for both brands.

    Thats exactly what I was thinking. The General Lee is shoeless somewhere.

    Was there a set of wheels like that called Hurricanes? I could be way out in left field here.
     
  14. the general lee's wheels had fewer finns and had a raised ring around the bolt circle
