Default Turbines

What do most people think of Turbine wheels. I have a set that is about as perfect as can be found and I'm try to decide on wether to keep them for later use or sell them. How do you think they would look on my '83.

I personally like the way they look, we had them on a 93 lx. The thing I didn't like about them was they were hard to clean.

i got turbines on my car now, i pretty much hate them lol. the center caps get discolored from the sun and those are 50 bucks a pop. they're a PAIN IN THE **** to clean. so its tough to keep em looking good. I got mad respect whenever i see a fox with some nice looking turbines, its tough to do. some can pull it off

Nothing wrong with a good set of turbines. I've got a set and will keep them. They really don't have a resell value and just better to keep IMO. I have my pony's on right now.

Best looking factory 15" they used IMO. Was the first change I made to my 87 when I first got it. Liked them so much I held on to them and a couple years later put them on my 83 GLX convertible.
