Are these factory wheels??

Ok I purchased a 1979 Bronco on Ebay,item#7981035975.If anyone could look that item number up on Ebay and take a good look at the wheels and let me know if Ford ever produced a Bronco with these wheels or are they after market.I have seen a few of Ford broncos in my life with these wheels but never knew if they were original or not.It is the top of the line Bronco for that year.It is a "Bronco Ranger XLT" with all the trim.It is way beyond repair as far as the body goes however it did have a rebuilt motor in it that was really built up nicely.When I got it home and started looking it over I found receipts for boring the cylinders and a Crane cam as well as an Edelbrock Alum.intake and a Holly carb.After seeing the receipts I decide to look the engine over and it does have the Holley Carb and the Edlebrock intake so I am assuming the rest of the work listed in the receipt was done to this motor.I did hook up a gas can to the fuel pump, it fired right up and sounded awesome.I mainly purchased it for the wheels,I want to put them on my 1988 E150 Conversion van.They appear to be the Turbine "Dukes Of Hazzard" style wheels,Maybe Vectors or something.If somebody could please tell me if they are stock or aftermarket it would help me out alot.Thanks

Your wheels are aftermarket wheels, they look like a set of ET wheels I had years ago on my 79.
