Anyone have pics they can post up?
What sizes/back spacings were these available in, and are they hard to find today? </div></div>
Numerous companies made them. They were an inexpensive wheel for the entry level market.
I have a 1976 Superior catalog and they had a full line of them-they were called Superior Typhoon Superlug (unilug) & also "Chrome Steel Dish"(direct bolt pattern)-came in anything from 13x5.5 import to 15x10 to 6 & 8 lug RV. The 14x6, 14x8, 15 x7, 8 and 10's etc came is standard and reverse(deep dish) offsets.
They came in either chrome or paint.
The 15x8's 4 3/4 bolt pattern with cap were $19.80 wd/jobber price and 5 lug nuts were .69 cents LOL (1975 price sheet)
My local Harts dept store were selling them for $19.99 any size in the late 70's-approx 1977-1978. Not sure when they were discontinued.
