I don't think we will ever see 17" Turbines for one simple reason: many, many Mustang guys hate 'em. The 10 holes have a kinda cult following but not the Turbines. If I could get 16" or 17" Turbines I might actually get rid of my Snowflakes

True, but Fox Mustangs are becoming old enough that people are restomodding them instead of just plain modding them, and turbines are a correct wheel for pre-pony GT's. Kinda like those Year One Trans Ams with the 17" (I think) Pontiac snowflakes. I had a '78 Trans Am with the original 15-inchers and I hated 'em. Almost as hard to keep clean as turbines, and they were polycast and weighed a ton. I never thought anyone would want to repop that style, but I was wrong...

True I just don't think they will ever get made. I wish they would though.

I have one word for them: Turbine :D

Ive got as good a chance as that, as I do for 16" polycast 16 slot wheels.

I've always liked that style wheel too. They're a nice early 80's style. I think they did make 'em in 15", but unfortunately only for F-150 trucks :hick: (Come to think of it, the truck "wheels" may just be hubcaps). Wasn't there a wheel that looked a lot like those that was TRX, too?

The rims pictured in that 3D rendering look about as much like 10-holes as my dog's b-hole does. Swing and a miss.

Id hate to clean up your yard....

Maybe a bunch of us should start requesting the 16"-17"-18" Turbines from the guy...I tell ya what, I'm with you...if they were made, I'd rather have 'em than the 'Flakes, same as you. In fact, I'm going to go back to my 15" Turbs over the 16 inchers when I get ready to put it on the road. Looking at old pics of my white car...I just prefer the Turbines. Lucky for me they clear the TC brakes and all.
