Vectors have the least spokes.
Hurricane wheels have more spokes.
Turbines have the most spokes.

The first time I noticed the Vectors was in the mid 70's when Car Craft Magazine did a project car called The Big Banana. Believe it or not, it was considered "cutting edge" back then with the custom wide body kit and modified engine. The wheels were necessary to accentuate the wide body when the newest Corvettes came with only 8" wheels.
