86custom Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Sorry I borrowed the pic. What years and models did these come on? Thank you all :bowdown:
Backdraft Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 IIRC, those are 10 spoke turbines. Not sure what they came on though. Maybe someone smarter will chime in.
Garvin Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 He is correct, those are the turbine rims. The rims in the picture are missing the hubcaps though. I'm not sure on the exact year range but they did come on my 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. I believe it was the Renix era Jeeps with the alloy rim package that those came on.
whowey Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 The correct name is Ugly As Sin.... But they did come on Renix era Jeeps. Being from the AMC era, they were available when anyone checked the :ack: or the :barf: box on the order form.
HOrnbrod Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Now now, no bad-mouthing the best looking wheels AMC/Jeep ever came out with. :no: I LOVE these wheels. They even look better than the Ravines. :D The last year you could get them was 1991.
Harley Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Agreed. They are pretty sharp lookin wheels. :thumbsup:
Zenobian_84 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 The correct name for those wheels was "Sexy", if I'm not mistaken. ;) :cheers:
MJCARENA Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I love the look of the turbines, but they do need the center cap. I also think the raised white letters look good on the truck. Just screams 80's
glundblad Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Turbines by far where the best but I must confess. I don't recall of a barf checkbox when I bought my Jeep but there may have been. If there was one, I would have checked it. I'm too old to remember for sure.
landlubber Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 a guide to jeep wheels: http://colorado4wheel.com/images/jeepwh ... heels.html I love the turbines, have yet to be successful in finding some around here to purchase.
Eagle Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I've managed to collect a set of five from various sources, and in various states of deterioration. I think they'll clean up okay, but ... Does anyone have a couple of the center caps for the turbine wheels?
HOrnbrod Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Does anyone have a couple of the center caps for the turbine wheels? I have a couple but both are missing the center JeeP logo sticker. You can have them if you want for postage.
86custom Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 Thank you. I want a set for my 86 so bad after seeing your rigs. :chillin: :thumbsup:
theguywithjeeps Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 those are great wheels. and you can buy some brand new one from Rusty's for 125 a piece.
87Warrior Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 If I am not mistaken, couldn't the turbines be had on a 99 XJ? I am pretty sure wheels in the OP were what remained on the XJ donor I bought.
DREDnot Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 If I am not mistaken, couldn't the turbines be had on a 99 XJ? they will fit but were not available from the factory in 99. The last year I can find was 91
