I like them. There hurricane style but not actually hurricanes as yours has way to many fins.

They may actually be Turbine rims.

Outriding is correct - way back in the day they were called Turbines. (where I grew up anyway  ;D )

Don't forget to lower it too. Looks like you could lose 4 - 6 inches in the rear!
