Hurricane Turbine Cyclone Western Wheels Rims

[sprdv1]

Anyone looking for some 15x7's (Franko) by any chance?
Guy found some over in the Cheyenne WY area found some on a full-size Bronco in the junkyard. Says the rig and the wheels are headed for the shredder next week if anyone is interested in saving them.

Personally I'm a fan of the 7" wide size myself.

7-8 for me too.....

Found a set of 5 turbine wheels in Canada that are from a 86 dodge ram charger. Will they fit my 67 bronco? Guess they are Mopar which is different from the western turbines?

Funny that this thread came back up on Sunday.
On Sunday I went to 4WP to have them mount up my new BFG KO2's on my cleaned up Keystone Turbo wheels from a few pages back.
Not sure if I like them or not (too much black and not enough shiny) but maybe it will grow on me.

They look good.

Yep. I see what you mean about too much black, but overall they look great and I think they will grow on you to an extent at least.
Not really much in the way of alternative colors though. Body color would be too much, grey or silver would be too subtle, and red or some other high profile color just would not be right. Hmm, white maybe? Off-white like Wimbledon? Yeah, no... Probably not.

But if you ever get a wild hair, get some dark gray peel off paint (forget what they call it, but like Plasti-Dip) and go to town on one of the wheels. I would not suggest you paint it permanent-like, because it looks like you did a nice number on the black paint already. But some of the peel-off stuff would be right up this alley.

all depends on the person right... I'm sure they'll grow on ya

The add says 5x5 bolt pattern so they won't fit a Bronco.

Yeah I was hoping it was a typo, but I don’t need em anyway, need to focus on installing all the parts I HAVE %);D

It's a 76. You may remember it from the thread I had going last year about the dark brown one. It's has become a secondary hunting/woods truck. Took it to the cabin yesterday actually.
