i remember when american racing made theirs, they named them hurricane 1, 2, 3, and 4. difference was the spoke spacing. 1 was super tight spacing, 4 was like the general lee rims.

Those where very common in the late 70s, I can remember people putting mirror tape or trick tape inside the fins. I actually have a set for a 4 bolt VW.
