72240z Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I think western is manufacturers name too. Think the term turbine comes from the mustang wheels. Idk about turbo. Was just thinking lol. Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Just listed, a bit more expensive, but they have rubber... http://eugene.craigslist.org/pts/1409502635.html There is also a used rim place next to the Tire Barn on Franklin. Springfield Auto wrecking also has a bunch of vintage stuff and the prices are really reasonable. Edited October 7, 2009 by nukeday Quote Link to comment
