Title: Mark VII wheels, 16 inch, 88-89 Turbine or 90-92 BBS style
Post by: thunderjet302 on June 22, 2013, 04:32:30 PM
I'm looking for a set of 88-89 Turbine or 90-92 BBS style 16" wheels that came factory on Mark VIIs. I don't care if they need to be refinished but I don't want any that have bends, cracks, or pieces missing. I want straight wheels that just need to be refinished. I'd like a set of four as well. I like either style equally.

I've got a set of the turbines, from an LSC. No caps, tires are junk, and I seem to remember they are mostly rash-free. I'll look at them at later and see if they're not skinned up, and if so, I'll shoot some pics for you.

If you have some pictures that would be great. Like I said if they need to be refinished that's cool as I have no problem doing that (I did the Snowflakes on my Thunderbird). As long as they are straight with no bends or cracks it's cool. I have center caps and I wouldn't want tires with them anyway.

88-89 Mark VII LSC turbines are 16"X7". They're different from the 15" Mustang turbines.

Wow!  Those look even more difficult to clean than the 15" ones.

Maybe ;).

Everyone says the TC Snowflake wheels are hard to clean but I've never had a problem. I don't drive the car much though so that probably helps.
