Those were popular in the 70's. I think they were made by a company called "Western Wheels". I believe they were called "turbine" wheels or "cyclone" wheels.

American Racing made a wheels called Vector and I think you can still get them. They are like the wheels on the Generla Lee.

With the offset needed to fit on an xB, you won't be able to get a deep dish, which is what that wheel has, and needs to look good.

BTW, is that the A-Team van?

yea thats the A-Team van, I am working on a project.
I looked at those wheels, and yea I am going to need something bigger then a 15.
What after market "tunner" wheel out there would still have the same "feel" as that.

for a xB2.
I also would like to do a raked look like the van, and maybe 19s do you think with a small drop, run a 225/35/19 up front and a 225/45/19 in the back would work?

I don't know if I will have enough time for that, we will be on a time frame for this build, and a budget.
