Vintage mag question

They are 15 spoke but not exactly same. These have years of shelf dust and grime on them. No pits/corrosion or gouging. Definitely need a power wash which I can do.

Oh, OK. If they were Westerns, I'd be interested. But being that those are 15x10, and 6 lug, you could spend a little time cleaning them up and probably get close to a grand for them on eBay. The set I bought on eBay was the first set I saw come up for sale in a year of looking. 5 lug ones are plentiful. 6 lug ones are out there, but they're all 8.5" wide.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not that versed in them, they're all just turbines to me!

There are probably 100 different types it seems. All sorts of different tweaks to the design.

American Racing had the Hurricane I and II, Western had the Cyclone and Cyclone II, Ansen had the Vane, Apollo had the Turbo and Twister, Appliance had the Turbo-Vec, Cragar had the Fan Star, E.T. had the Radial, Fenton had the Fanjet I and II, Formula had the S-159, International Mags had the T-Spoke Mag & the Turbo I and II, Ireco had the V-10 and J-30, Keystone had the Turbo series, Modern Wheels had the Mach I and II, National Wheel had the Fan I and II, Permacast had the TurboMag, Road Runner had the 33, 35 and 37 series, Rocket had the Startrack and Tornado, Shelby had the XV Vane, Turbo, Python, and Serpent I & II, US Mags had the US Jet and Hurricane I & II, Weld had the Turbo Mag. There are probably many others, but those are the only ones I was able to find when I was looking to buy a set lol. I never knew how much copy-catting went on in the wheel industry back in the day. It's the same for the slot mags, every company made a slightly different version. Here's a really good source of info for vintage wheels: https://vintagewheelcatalogs.com/

Not always, but usually, there will be a manufacturer's name or logo cast into the back of the wheel, along with the max load rating and size.

I don't remember what maker mine are. I researched it many years ago and I believe they were dealer-installed when my K5 was new. I remember they have late '76 date codes.
