American Racing Vector Wheels
(Best known for their appearance on the General Lee in the Dukes of Hazard)
These were pretty popular in the 70's. SOMEBODY has to make these today. I know I can probably find a set on ebay but they are made by a million different brands, 8 spoke, 10, 12 and then CE style with Lord only knows how many drill patterns and widths.
Anyone have a set for sale or know who makes new ones? I've screened the web and it seems like no one makes knock offs. Maybe I should start a business making them? :shocked:
These are OK and are from a vette: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
But I really want a set like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43955

Re: American Racing Vector Wheels (wugak)
I have a similiar set of alum wheels by Cragar. I was forced to drive the vette over winter and the salt was not too easy on them. I must have spent 20 hours sanding/polishing them so they shine. My duaghter wants new wheels but I like the look and they fit the era of the car.
