Just picked up this set of wheels for my Luv for $40
I think they are called saw blades or directionals
If you know the real name of this style of wheel, let me know. Thanks.

I usually heard them called saw blades, but directional was used also.

My brother had them on his LUV back in the late 80's

They look good to me. 6 lug, 2 go one way and 2 go the other, so they look right on the truck, but sucks at rotation time. ( I had directionals on my old Suburban.)

:smt102 x2 The only thing I can figure is on one pair the blades spins the opposite from the other. As long as I pair up the correct set on each side of the truck, I don't see what the big deal is. Or I could have them spinning in opposite directions on the same side of truck and really mess with peoples heads!

Correct. I see this a lot, wheel manufacturers to cheap to make two moulds.

Ok, I am still lost. There are 2 lefts and 2 rights in the picture, hence the term directional.

I see nothing wrong either. Tire rotation with radials is front to back and not criss-cross, so rim orientation stays the same. Much better than having rims that appear to be backwards on one side of your truck.
