Re: Spirit AMX Turbine Wheel Question

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxx>]

Hi actually you have two types, Turbines and Turbine II rims. Both are very
desirable and the caps are extremely difficult to find. The Turbines were a
option on many 1979 AMCs, but were part of the 79 AMX package:

They also appeared on the slow selling 80 AMX:

There is also a very similiar rim by American Racing rims that looks
identical to the AMC rims. The Turbine II rims were a $356 option on Spirit
GT, and I believe $341 on DL and Limited versions (give or take a $).

Expect to pay about $400+ for a set of nice ones, with or without caps. I
had a set of nOS caps two years ago and sold them for $200, again the caps
are just as hard, if not harded to find than the rims. Good luck,
