need feedback
i found these rims on ebay and was wondering what you guys think.
 i've looked at hundreds of pics and havn't seen any trucks with wheels like this. they are 15x10 and 15x8 i was thinking about painting between the splines and polishing the face and outer rim. and i'm going with 275/60/15 bf ta (letters out) |

Re: need feedback
They would be neat if kept clean. Not many trucks have those type of wheels.

Re: need feedback
Personally I dont like Turbine wheels at all. But remember, it is YOUR truck!

Re: need feedback
Are they vectors if not, I'm curious of the brand. Been hunting up a set for my 68 retro truck hotrod plan. Similar but not the same as the General Lees'. Didn't those have less spokes.

Re: need feedback
Turbines are cool. But they are really hard to keep clean. When you get them, the best stuff I have seen for cleaning and polishing them is Flitz. You see it advertised on TV. Not cheap but the best product out there. You can polish anything with that stuff. I have made my Weld Pros Stars look like chrome and they are aluminum.
