I found a set of the turbine rims in a junkyard near where i live just kinda stumbled upon them but the guy wants $300 bucks for em.  I just dont know, are they worth that? especially since in the future i will be converting to 5 lug.

300? no way, unless they have some nice tires on em, really nice tires

imo, no junkyard wheel is worth more than 100 even with tires because their usualy  tires and you have no idea what they did to em.

300 for junkyard turbines is definitely too much. I picked up on Ebay for a set of 4 including centrecaps for $15. I agree, I wouldn't go more then $100 for them.

I hate junkyards, you show some interest in something you found and the try to gouge you because they know you want it.  :bs:

300 was a little steep i thought but i assume that was the opening bid in the haggle and since im converting to 5 lug so i can get some sweet rims it just seemed too costly but you want a hundred bucks plus shipping thats cool but i dont want the tires those things are getting cleaned up super good and painted of plated i dont know yet.  plus they will be that much lighter to ship.  But yeah im interested theres no way im talking him down to $100 so shoot me an e-mail right now im bra and transmission hunting but i think i can toss a hondo your way for the turbines and i have to get tires neway too many burnouts (i think thats what did the tranny in too but keep that one under your hat)

$300 is highway robbery. I got 4 turbines and six tires for $225 from a private seller, and that was a long time ago (not junkyard pieces).
