Cheap wheels in WI October 23, 2005, 10:04:00 PM Hey all. I've decided to keep my Turbo Coupe, and I'm looking for some cheap 4 lug wheels for it for winter. I was thinking along the lines of turbines or 10 holes. I just need some 4 lug wheels to fit, preferably with ok tires, or really cheap so I can throw on some Blizzaks or something. Don't worry, this is the one and only winter this car will ever see, and it's only going to be driven until I leave for basic training.Post up, what do you have! Quote Selected

Cheap wheels in WI Reply #6 – October 24, 2005, 10:37:52 AM They can be 15" (turbine or 10-hole) but make sure they have an E7 casting number. It it's E5 or E6, stay away. Those earlier rims were meant to clear only 10" brakes. Starting in 1987 (E7) the rim section was opened up to clear the 11" brakes. You technically could use the earlier rims if you grind down the caliper housing. But why make it difficult, you know? Quote Selected
