WTB: 79-81 Trans Am "Turbine rims"
 

Needing to take measurements, and need two matching size turbine rims. There are 15X7 and 15X8 sizes. Would prefer the 15X8, thanks.

My boss has a NOS set or 4 still in the boxes. I believe they are 15x8. He's asking $1000 and I doubt he would be willing to split them up.

that's cheap IMO^^^

there are some trans am groups on facebook you might want to check. and one called second gen graveyard, run by a guy who parts firebirds. IMO check there. Or maybe trans am country forum.

Thanks Bonzo, I'll certainly look into it

What are you referring to as turbine rims. Factory never offered such. Do you mean snowflakes? I have a set of 15x8 snowflakes.

Western made a set of turbine looking rims similar to the late Fox body Mustang GT if that is what your are referencing. These were aftermarket.

OR are you referencing the Turbo wheels? I have a set of those also.

The rims I'm reffering to came on the 10th Anniv. Trans Am's, Daytona 500 Editions, and a few other trims I believe. They look like this:

EDIT: Found a site with restored sets, basically $175 a pop, not too shabby:

The line on the wheel by the valve stem hole is a wire tag, not a scratch or crack. And they are 15x8
