I have these wheels - they came in an AMT 67 Chevelle SS396 kit - would like to know the name given to this type of wheel...

The photo shows the wheels without flash on the top and with flash on the bottom (I added the black wash).

Those can be any one of several similar wheels, Western Cyclone 2, Fenton Fan Jet 2, American Racing Hurricane, American Racing Vector, Keystone Turbo III. Just going from the spoke count, the look to be most likely the Keystone Turbo III.

Is that the one in the upper right corner?

I was thinking more the one in the lower left corner.

OK - I decided to assign names to each of the wheels in this photo, and the one I selected is identified by the red arrow (Keystone Treker)... is this the one you were referring to?

Next one to the right and down from it, the Keystone Turbo III.

Yes, that's the one you mentioned in your first post, but the veins just look way too smooth to me. Could be that having the actual wheels is leaving you at a disadvantage - I should have photopgraphed these at different angles.

Looks like a hybrid of the two.

Guess we'll have to give them a new name... how about "Keystone Treker Turbo 3"?! :rolleyes:

I actually do have a set of those in my parts stash, I'll have to see if I can remember where they are. I've worked with the 1:1 wheels, too, though it has been a long time. They're notorious for the centers breaking out of them.
