From memory.... the wider spaced spokes are 'vectors'. the narrow spaced spokes are 'hurricanes'

That's a tough angle and the detail in that picture is not the greatest. Another possibility is Appliance "Turbovec" Wheels.

Late to the story. Yes those are American Vectors, Vectors have 10 vanes and the centers are dished deep into the hub. These are 40 years old now.
Sure would like to see a better picture of the spinners, looks nice.
