    They say ET on the cap, thinking they are Appliance maybe? If anyone can tell me for sure I would appreciate it! Thanks. 15 spoke, rim says 15 x 7.5

    I think they were called 'Turbines' IIRC. Big in the eightys. Most wheel companys put a version out.

    They are American Racing Vecters. Had a new set in 1982 I think?

    American Racing "Vector" 10-spoke "turbine" wheels is what The General had, these are 15 spoke and hard to find any info on. Trying to find a value for them.....

    They are ET's, you can tell by the washer shape and fit. In addition ET seemed to make odd sizes 14x6.75 for one, 15 x 7.5 for another.

    SamIyam is right do the enviromently smart and responsible thing. A full set of those should give life to about 700 new beer cans so come on and do the right thing.

    So, you just saunter in here flashing those beauties, get them identified, realize your good fortune, and don't bother to offer them up for sale?

    Bastard!

    Actually, I am a "her", and no-I did not get pissed off. Why would I? Of course not everyone will like them.....not everyone has the same taste. If anyone has any interest, please feel free to message me.
