Who wants to help ID these wheels? (Yes, pictures are here.)

Well here's what I am at right now. I would like to buy a 5th wheel to match the other 4 on the Jeep, but I am not sure if anyone makes this specific wheel anymore. I read 15x8.5 off the inside of the rim, but seemingly no information as to who manufactured it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can find some more information about these?

 

Didn't the A-Team van have a set of those? R) R) R)

 

Haha, great... the wheels are famous. R)

Looks to be that mine have 18 "spokes"

Boodie: Those have 15, but thats very helpful when trying to describe the wheels I have. Let me do a google search on General Lee style wheels... Thanks

Still nothing after a Google search...

 

No problem,

Let us know!

Apparently these are also called turbine wheels.

 

Thats what I was thinking.

 

My buddy had a set that looked a lot like those on his Jeep, and I think they were made by American Racing.
Not to go off topic, but where did you get the cover for your Jeep-- I've been looking for something like that!

 

Diden't Grand Wagoneers have those wheels? Or Ford Crown Vics/ mercury Grand Marquees.

 

Rain Gear Jeep Covers

Specifically, CJ5 Jeep Cover

It is a fantastic cover. I have had it for a week or two and it's kept the Jeep dry as a bone. I just took that picture and have more of it in action if you need the pictures.

 

If they are the same wheels as the General Lee had they quit manufacturing them in the early 80's some time I think. I heard a Dukes of Hazzard maniac say that once. I have seen similar wheels on 80's Dodge trucks though.

 

There's a place here in Denver called Performance Wheel And Tire, http://www.performancewheel.com/ , that has literally thousands of used wheels of all kinds (except Willys Jeep ). Check 'em out, they might have what you need. And I'm sure they're not the only one out there.

FWIW, when I saw your photo my first thought was American Racing too.

 

I've also heard them referred to as Hurricane wheels.

 

They sure look like the early dodge truck wheels. But IIRC the dodge truck center holes were too small to fit over a jeep hub.

 

i seen a lot of them on old t birds(70s boats) but the bolt pattern is diff i think
