Does anyone know what these weels are? They came with a doner 74 Corvette I purchased.
They are 15" and have 235/60 BF Goodrich T/A Radials on them.
I want to sell them but dont know what the heck they are.
thanks,

Could be American Racing Hurricane II's. As I recall the II's had more fins than the Hurricanes which resembled Western Cyclones. These were a very popular style back in the late 70's, early 80's. I believe FoMoCo actually had there own version of these as an option on some of there cars.

AR Hurricanes had 15 spokes, the Hurricane IIs had 30. They could be, however, Western Turbines, as "mooser" mentioned. They were all very similar.....and personally, I find it had to believe that there were a LOT of foundries/machining facilities making aluminum wheels back then.

I was selling wheels in the 70's and 80's. These sure look like the Western turbine wheel (there is a specific name but I don't remember it). The manufacturer name may be part of the casting on the back. Be sure to clean them up good so you get top $$.
