Well thanks for your post, I know what wheels mine are now  ;-)up ;-)up I knew they were not the ordinary Turbovec's, mine are made by Grace & Co. Good luck with your search, you might need to add what stud spacing you are after!

Hi David, so if mine are appliance turbovec's, what are the one's called with one or two more spokes that are curved rather than having a dog-leg in them?

Cheers Rob

They were usually called Hurricane or Turbine mags. Most US manufacturers made their own versions of both designs.

That's no problem, it took me a while too find out what they're. I'm just struggling to find any for sale and i was told about this place, being probably the best place to find the wheels for sale.
Hopefully i find the :)
