chevy blazer wheels that look like wider turbine?

i was at the local checkers and someone had the early 80's style blazer there, i noticed the wheels looked like the turbine wheels off a gw but wider. anyone ever used these on their rig? how did they work?

They are aftermarket wheels. If they have the proper back spacing (3.75 or less) they will work on a GW.

Really? Aftermarket? I've seen them on a couple different blazers of that era. Any idea what brand or series of wheel they would be?

Google "western turbine" and "vector rim", also "dukes of hazard rim".

Well that's something. I'm seeing most with 5 lug setup. But I'm sure they made them for a 6 lug setup also.
