Western wheel ID [please!

[Beladona_13]

My good friend just picked these wheels up dirt cheap. I haven't had the opportunity to look them over yet or dismount the tires to look for marks, but I'm curious... does anyone recognize these? they look similar to the Western Turbine wheels, but with fewer spokes, the ring around the lugs is raised more, and the lugs themselves appear to be sunken a bit. Any clues?

I had to google a good pic of the General... they sure are! Any idea what they were called back then? In the mean time, I'll check into the Vectors...

Thats what the General Lee uses. So, paint the baja orange and slap an 01 on the door.
