Looking for 1 Towny Turbine Rim

[marquis_82_withneons]

after we pulle dth eoriginal 3 turbines off the 88 to put the new rims on we were gonna scrap them because they were pretty toast. pitted, clear peeling, little knicks and scratches.. the works ya know. but after this rediculous winter im in need of a set of tires so im gonna recycle the 3 turbines we have and use them on my merc. only issue is here i only have 3 rims.

so im looking to buy a single turbine off an 80s towny. doesnt.. i reapeat DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A GOOD RIM. i dont care about the appearance. it does need to be straight though. im plastidipping all 4 before i get fresh rubber. i just want a 4th matching rim. let me know whos got a crappy one they dont want.

im also incredibly low on cash but it NEEDS done im willing to put something out to a fellow enthusiast. i dont really know their value so just name a price and ill say whether or not i have that much.

as always... thanks guys

update... im also needing a set of those longer lug nuts to fit the turbines also

[pantera77]

This style?

[marquis_82_withneons]

negative on that one there bud. but if you got a good price on the set with rubber included i may be interested. those look nice. let me dig up the towny profile and give the link. there should be a pic on it of the rims

[marquis_82_withneons]

kinda hard to see but hres a link to the thread. you can see the rims SORT OF.... theyre all straight spoke rims no fancy pattern.

Standard turbine rims('80-'89)

[pantera77]

Yep, just regular turbines then. Should be easy to find. Even a 90/91 one would look close enough to work.

[marquis_82_withneons]

there we go then. looking for an 80-89 turbine.. in whatever condition available and a full set of lugs from them.

I thought 91 alone was the oddball without the charcoal paint in the spokes.

[marquisman]

More like a late '90. Its safer just to cut it off at '89

[sxcpotatoes]

I've got a full set of turbines, actually two sets, collecting dust in my shed, if you want I can pry the flat tire off one and see what it would cost to ship to you. I should have some of the longer lug nuts too, but do you have a pic of them just to be sure?

[PO'D-MERC]

hey sxcpotatos. i need a turbine rim too. one of mine is cracked. i'm only in PA if you tell me what you want for one with shipping.

[HiFiMerc]

If you find some in the junkyard, you can get the tire off with a Swiss Army knife, a flathead screwdriver, and a wire cutters.

Correct. The veins on the '91 wheels are not machined, either

[HiFiMerc]

That I knew, my dad has a 91 with Turbines, and my little utility trailer has the non machined wheels.

I prefer the machined ones personally.
