General Lee in Dukes of Hazzard had Vector wheels, similar but not exactly same as these Turbines. Vectors also came on the 86-87 Buick T-Type.

Correct, Universal Studios used 15 inch Turbines painted black with red accents with 235/65R15 up front and 275/65R15 out back. They did not use the Vector wheels.
