Whos running "Hurricane" style wheels.

I've started liking the look of the vintage "Turbine" or "Hurricane or Turbo Vec" style wheels more and more. I would love to see some pics of who's running these style wheels or similar vintage mag wheels.

Yee haaw! Man i reckon a truck with 15x10 on the rear and 15x8 up front would look awesome can't wait to see some pictures

These are the ones I'm looking at for my 2wd stepper hope they will work. Wish the rears were a little wider but I like the look.

Better pic.

Here are a couple of older pics with the turbine style wheels. The truck has rally wheels on it now.

Here is a set freshly powdercoated last winter.

I dig old school wheels as well. Here's a staggered set of Western Wheels Cyclone II's that I sold a couple months ago. The 15x10 rear wheels didn't have enough backspace and would stick past the fender on my '72 which wouldn't work since I want to lower the truck. Something to consider if you want to lower your rig as well.


FWIW these wheels went by a number of names and were sold by a handful of manufacturers back in the day such as Appliance, Keystone, Diamond, American Racing, Wolfrace, etc. As I recall, the "hurricane" style wheel is different and has multiple small spokes like the original Cyclone wheel as shown below.

I too like these wheels. I have a set ready ,but can't seem to muster the funds for tires. I had started a thread on these style of rims.That's what was (cool) then, and I still like them.So I'm in for some pics with these trucks running them!

Sorry didn't attach the final product after powder coat.
I have 4-15x10's and 4-15x7's

I used to run 8.25s on my '72 GMC. These are the stronger type like you have. I had a set on my '90 Blazer, too (10")

Here are another type color-matched that were on a truck I once had

Awesome pics! I have always loved the old school turbines and aluminum slots on these trucks. I'm looking for a set for my 70 C30 Longhorn..

My old '70 I couldn't buy back


My now '72


My '48 and my Harley



Yes, I love the style

[Redline novdog]

Good pictures. I'm liking the body color match more and more also.

Thanks for clearing that up I'm new to these type of wheels.

I had same wheels as pictures #6 & 11. I also color matched the "fins" I thought it looked awesome. Still do as a matter of fact.

Here's the '72 again. I wish I could have hung onto those

I took too long to edit that post...as always. I wanted to show this picture more than any other and just came across it. It was right after I brought them back from fuglysville. This was with other pictures of the '72 at that time, so might as well post one
