they are Turbos or Turbines depending on who made them. They aren't Wolfrace Turbovecs which are the most well known version, but they were made by 100+, Western, Performance, Smiths, American Racing and possibly Appliance. Similar wheels were OE fit on Aniversary Edition Corvettes in the late 1970s and in the late 80s on an Isuzu Trooper or Shogun IIRC They are probably my 3rd favourite wheel. I will give you your £50 back for them...  |

4 stud PCD you just measure from centre of one hole to the centre of the one across from it.
If they are off a Mini then they will be 4".

They look like Western Wheel (model Cyclone or hurricane possibly, 15 spoke) Wolfrace Turbovecs? What cars had those then, Austin Avenger, or was it MG Spyder? *tsk!* *Appliance Turbo Vec* has THIRTEEN STRAIGHT SPOKES . (Rascal van ^ ) and were also sold as Keystone Turbo-Master I have a set of 14 inch 'Western Wheels' , yours look a lot like them. Very cool.  Wolfrace did one pretty much identical called the Turbo which also had 18 and 21 spoke varieties, and I even had a chrome set of 18 spokers. By the way.. those 10 spoke Buick Grand National / General Lee wheels are called 'American Racing Vector'  |

Following on from Datmans informative post, the wheels on my Rascal are actually Enkei Baja (Japanese version of the Appliance Turbo Vec)   I also have a set of similar wheels to the ones at the top. No real identifiers on them, but they sound like they might be Western wheels if Datmans description is anything to go by?  Currently without tyres and sat down at the unit waiting for a good home  They can be seen on the bottom left of this shot with the Enkei's in the middle of the shelf above....  |

I bow to Datman's vastly superior turbo/turbine knowledge! The Vectors I knew, at least |

Well i don't think they are going to be 4x100 pcd so if anyone has a nice 4x100 pcd wheel they would be willing to swap for them

Heres a handy old advert which will also help you ID some other wheels, scanned from a mag by Spottedlaurel I believe.  If you look carefully the Diamond Sunspoke looks a bit like the wheels we're trying to ID but look closely, they only have 14 spokes |

Well, it'all very well saying they are not 4x100 but it would help if you said what PCD they are  There are at least a handful of people who will want these wheels to fit their motor but without the PCD no one will make a move........ |
