Re: Old school turbine wheels

A lot of aftermarket wheels will have the dimensions in the rim barrel. Did you dismount? Keep bumping and someone with classy taste will swoop them up. I swear a K/5 guy should want these. They sure go ape over Hickey stuff, as if that was all there was back in the day. A lot more to it than Hickey, and a guy who loaded up with Hickey doo-dads would as likely be running these as any other of the few choices available back in the day. Not to mention, good lookin' wheel right there! $300 seems to be the fair price cap on these vintage beauties, and all others such as slots. These were never polished and can be cleaned right back to like new with wheel cleaner and some scuffing up. Yep, won't hurt them a bit. No clear coat and not polished, so elbow grease will do the trick...even steel wool if you want to clean deep. I had another style on my '90 Blazer for a throw-back look on a body that went back to '73. Als ran a set on my '72 K2500 for a while. A member here, Dean, has a beautiful '71 or '72 K/10 with these. One of the best looking LWB 2-tone Cheyenne Supers on the site
