If they were cleaned up, they wouldn't look bad at all. I can imagine them on a black car. The gold would offset that really well.

Maybe from an Astro Van? That's what's coming to mind.

American turbine wheels.... aftermarket.

how I know this useless bit of information? my dad was sooooooo excited in the early 70s when he bought a set for his 75 el camino. Until I saw that picture, I'd successfully repressed that entire episode... thanks Alaskaman

that said, there's 80 worth of aluminum scrap there
