I have heard them called turbines too. My van has a set. A trick thing to do with them is to polish the edge of the ribs to a mirror and lay down paint in between. I have never done that but I heard and can imagine it would look cool. Welcome to the site.

My buddy has a set like that on his '69 Valiant, we just call them Turbine rims. They were very oxidized. He sanded them down with fine paper then painted them silver, but then polished the top of the ribs off to a high polish...they look dynamite!
