Identify these rims!!!

I just picked these up a few weeks ago and didn't really notice that these are not like the usual turbine/hurricane rims that I'm used to seeing. They have more of a web at the center of them. Not like any others I've seen beofre? 15x7. Fit on my F150. After market? Anybody now what these are from?

Looks like a dodge wheel to me. I remeber most Ford wheels had the center cap screwed on with 3 screws. IIRC dodge had their center caps held on with the lug nuts.

Everyone I know calls them Turbine wheels. But I'm not sure what the official name is.

Those are appliance wheel brand turbovec wheels. Appliance went out of business in the 80's sometime. They also made the slotted mag style and a cragar ss style wheel and many others. When I was a kid we had a burgundy and off white 77 suburban 2wd with a 454 and side pipes. It had those on it and the flat areas were color matched to the burgundy.
