We always called em Vector Wheels. That was the name brand, There was different styles or names mostly due to how many "spokes" there was. Dukes of Hazard General Lee had them. Not as many spokes as yours but same style. I had a set in 79

Yes there a few different kinds, it all depends on the # of spokes (16 or 18). Aluminium rims have a habit of working the lug nuts loose, so I hear?
I had 3 sets and a chebby guy wanted a set as long as they has 16 spokes, I never knew there was a spoke difference, I had the correct count on one set and sold them.
With the center painted red they really look nice cleaned up and on a red bodied truck IMO. We just call then "fins", Hurricanes or Dukes of Hazzard style" rims.
What else do you need to know and can I go shopping in your garage attic? Maybe you have a D60 front axle up in there, lol.

we have a set of these that we just re did for my uncles 84 we are building.
He bought them new back in the 80s, but they had been sitting outside the past 13 years on the truck in the weather when he parked the truck.
We had them media blasted, then powdercoated an aluminum finish,
they are one of my favorite designs, wheel wise, the only down fall is that they are mostly all 16.5
here are some pics
after blasting
after powdered
The centercaps are a pewter color we chose to be powdercoated
and we mounted the tires a few weeks back
And heres a few of them back in the 80s and 90s

Be setting down when you talk to those AKH folks, for that they are asking for those type and slotted mag rims is crazy.
If they would pay 1/2 of what they are asking for them (which I doubt), I would sale all I have to them.
