Default Looking for Dukes of Hazzard rims.

Im looking for a set of Dukes of Hazzard rims for my 71 Runner. Just wondering if anyone knows where some are. Im not looking for brand new ones, just some in decent shape that can be fixed if need be. Thanks.

If it helps, the original design was by American Racing and they were called 10 Spoke Vectors.

You can try this guy...http://www.dukesonline.com/dts/classifieds.html

He claims to have 2 of the wheels in the chrysler bolt pattern.

Another option is to find a mid 80s (like 85-86) Buick Regal, T-Type or Grand National in a salvage yard and pick up those wheels. Then purchase a 5 inch to 4.5 inch wheel adapter kit from some place like JC Whitney.

Although they aren't the exact same, they are close enough to fool most of the population.

Good luck in your hunt.

Try searching classifieds in Australia too. Down here a company in the 70's called Magnum wheels produced the 10 spoke wheels and called them Dominators. They look exactly the same as the American racing ones, and were available in the 4.5 inch bolt pattern.

I've got a set of 4 of them (14x7) sitting on the floor in my garage.

Here's a link to what they looked like on a previous Valiant coupe of mine:
