The wheels that came on my vette ID?

These aluminum wheels came on my Vette and have been replaced with rallys. They are aluminum finned wheels with a center cap that says ET on them. They currently have some old 235 60/15s on them.

I know they aren't original but was wondering if anyone knows what they are called and if they have any re-sale value? I need some part money for the vette

thanks for any help

That was a popular style in the late 70s-early 80s. They were made in very similar styles by Appliance Wheels, American Racing, and Western Wheels, to name a few. Appliance called them the "Turbo Vec", and the name seemed to stick for all of them that looked like that.

With the cost of electric power these days, "windmill parts" can be a good thing!!
