JMO413 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 There caps set it off. They make it look complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Wow........gotta say, that finishes the wheels off just right IMO. Looks proper. I've always liked turbines, have one for my spare tire. I think I like the way these look better than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiMJ Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Looks great. *Having flashbacks to the 40+ hours I spent sanding/polishing/painting my own. Not a quick project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchamakalit Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Love the look of these. Guess I'll plan on some sanding and paint in the future. Sent from my LG-H871 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEO auto Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 I spray painted the black plastic on the center-caps. They were starting to fade away. Does anyone know how to restore the chrome sections of the caps (In the center). They’re not in that bad of shape, but one is chipped and the others have some wear. Top is After, bottom is before All caps after a fresh coat of paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahooSteeler Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Try Eagle One Never Dull, available at any auto parts store and Wally World. Supposed to be really good on plastic chrome trim. Lots of vids on YouTube on polishing and clear-coating plastic chrome. From the look of those, I would say they just need a MILD polishing, they look really good already actually.

NEO auto Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I had to buy shorter lug nuts for the caps to fit on the rims. I also installed a factory-original sport bar with KC lights yesterday. The top picture is what it currently looks like. Bottom is when I bought it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proama Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I just picked up a set for 100 bucks! My camanche is red do you all think if I painted them red in between it would be too much red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCO6 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Old thread but I'll add my experience with restoring Turbine wheels to it, not that I should take any credit for it as I had them restored for me. Mine were rough like many of the ones above. The wheel restoration shop that did them for me blasted them, painted them silver, machine the polished surfaces enough to get rid of the pits and powder coated them with clear. The cost was $125 CDN per wheel which is about $95 US. I've had MOAB wheels blasted and powder coated for $100 CDN per wheel, about $80 US, so I thought the added cost for machining the Turbines was pretty reasonable.

schardein Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I took my 5 "worst condition" Turbines and had them powder coated. Wasn't sure I would like them, but I think they turned out great and I will probably use them as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
