Turbine style wheels- recent thread

[barronj]

There was a thread recently where someone had posted a pic of their rig, and it had these older style turbine style wheels, and a few people really liked the wheels that guy had---

I found a set on CL, thought of my CB brethren... here's the link-

$350 obo, sounds like $200 & a six pack to me!

GOOD LUCK!

$350-too much IMO. If they were good slots-then yes. I have some 15 x 9 turbines on my Bronco and I like them. Some don't like the look. Just a matter of personal preference.

$350 could be him not knowing anything other than he has a pile of stuff & has to start somewhere for pricing. I bet you could get them for $200, maybe $250.

These are not slots (clearly). There was a thread where people were showing great interest, so I thought I'd give them opportunity.

I can't see them on my rig, otherwise I'd be beating him up on price myself.

Whenever I see those wheels, I think of the The General Lee. "Just the good ol boys";D

those would look sick powder coated black with the fins left brushed alum...

Price is high, but I had a set on my first bronco and loved them! If I didn't already have new rubber on my rig I would give him a call.

I've got a set of American Racing wheels with centers (plastic) that are 15x7. I'd let them go for $250 plus actual shipping cost.........

I ran a set of Western Wheel Turbines for 15 years. 2 years ago I changed wheels and I could not give away the turbines. I ended up getting $22 bucks a piece for them at the scrap yard.

Personally, I like the turbines.
Wish I could find someone giving a set away.

 

[msweb]

**Note ** I put an ad in the classifieds for them and even lowered the price

Those aren't quite old enough to be cool yet. Wait about 10 years and everyone will want them!

I'll give them to ya and charge actual shipping but the handling charges are gonna be a little higher than normal ;D

Are these wheels actually called turbines? I'd love to have a set of them someday to use on my street tire set. I just need to know what they are actually called so I know what to search for. I'd love to have the set msweb has but I just don't have the money right now.

I have a set too, i will let go for 200 plus shipping. I would run them but they are too wide for my tires (10")

How hard would it be to cut them down and re-weld i wonder.....

 

[msweb]

Sorry smoke, but I sold them to another member on here yesterday. All I have now are 15x7 slots and 15x10 Hurricanes/Turbines like Grant (I think the name of them can be Hurricanes or Turbines depending on who actually made them).

Grant - I doubt it would be worth the time, trouble or cost to try and narrow the wheel but if you want to buy a set to practice with before cutting yours, let me know ;D

 

[Smokeater11]

The 10'' ones would work on my muddin set but are to wide for my street set. I'll keep my eyes out for some. I have wheels for both sets right now these are just one of those things that are on my want list, not my need list.
