I am really getting this project going now, no holding back! Exiting!
I will keep everyone updated.
Those turbines will sparkle once you get them really really clean man. It takes a lot of work, but the results are well worth it.
I used Simple Green, an array of rags, sponges, and things like that. What helped towards the center was a 1" paintbrush that had the bristles cut down to about 1" long.
Thanks for the advice, I will keep that in mind!
I SO regret ever trading mine to Eric!
...*ahem*
Please tell me they didn't go away with the '88 Sport?
The turbines are awesome just a pain to keep clean.
If you get them and the clearcoat is peeling, you can remove all of the factory clear using acetone. Then you can go to any parts place and they should have a spray can of wheel clear coat. I forget who makes it, but they offer some basic colors and clear.
Absolutely.
Here's a link to some pictures of this process. I did it with acetone (be careful with that stuff) and some mild metal polish.

I got a set of turbines off ebay too... i used some eagle one etching mag wheel cleaner it it did a good job.
I wish someone would reproduce them in 17 incher form. That would be awesome. :D
I've thought about that too! That would be perfect.
Just got em in today! Oh man, I got them for a steal at $110 for all of them after noticing the quality! Here is what one looks like after just some light cleaning.

If you will keep looking on ebay you can also find the Cougar center caps for those turbines.
Looks good
