    Has anyone got a set of turbine style wheels on there Maverick? I found a set on CL but would sure like to see a picture or two of these wheels on a Maverick before I make the hour+ ride to look at them.
    Thanks allot.

    Anyone know what brand wheels are shown in the picture above? I really want to find something like this for my Mav. Definitely gives a different look than everyone else's Cragar /American Racing torq thrust looking wheels.

    Was that a limited run or do they still manufacture those wheels?

    Lot's of brands made them in the 70's

    Appliance, ET, some others...why not just go to wheelcollision.com and purchase a set for a 1979 Z28 or 82-86 std camaro? Sure you will need a spacer to correct the bolt pattern and you can get universal center caps from Summitt -but there what your looking for, refinished new & not used, and only $130 a piece.

    I believe that Western is another brand that produced turbines back in the day. "Hurricanes" came in a couple different spoke styles, too.

    Here is a dealer in vintage wheels ..... http://www.akhwheels.com/pages/inventory.php?cat=1

    Search "Dukes of Hazzard" for wheels like what Tody is showing. Those are American Racing Vectors ... they used those on the General Lee. I was actually looking for a set for my 1998 Explorer Sport before settling on a type of wheel. I thought the chunky-look of those wheels would go great with it, and give it a unique vibe.

    Those are 4 bolt wheels, that won't fit.
