Smash or trash?
What do y'all think?
I went to Mike's (Fine69) place on sunday and helped him scrap a whole bunch of stuff he had laying around, and worked out some details for some work he's doing for me, when i found some rims laying around. He only had 3 of them (huge bummer) but I'm willing to bet I can find one of these locally quicker and cheaper than 2 of my turbine rims. (one got stollen, and another was bent) I don't think these are as cool as the old turbines, but they are pretty decent. (70's Grand Cherokee) What do y'all think, smash, or trash? (oh, and notice the x-mas colors are gone now too!) |

I got these wheels in a package deal. Only the 3. Didnt have a clue what they were for.
Andy was on them like STINK ON CRAP. I thought at first that they would look junky on there. But to my surprize they look good. Better than the pic shows. They are brighter. (i tried to act like i wanted to keep them,but i was glad he took them off my hands) hehe |

go for the Jeep rims Andy, those are everywhere and there is no big demand for them, like for the turbines. altho turbines look cool, so do those.

Those wheels look more appealing than the ol' turbines your truck had, oh look that "turd" has the super rare radio antenna on the driver's side option

I think they're cool too. Also they have the uniqueness factor going for them.

All them rich guys got those turbines...I vote that the rims that you have there are cool enough for one of our trucks, and they're bought and paid for..The unique factor is there too..
Good luck finding the odd one..

Hey Andy, I may have found you some turbines that you can have for the shipping. My youngest brother says he has a set laying around somewhere, I just gotta go look for them. I'll holler at you if I ever get off my lazy butt and go look.
