finding nice turbines will be a challenge.. Those are usually fairly trashed because most people didnt want them

not exactly. You're not going to "clean up" old chipped rims with nicked up edges..

my best advice is save up, search for a good set that you'll be 100% happy with! Then it's money well spent

You're right in saying that chips won't clean up, obviously lol. But a wire wheel would take care of a lot of damage, even if they're pitted. I'm not saying they're going to look brand new, but you could definitely improve on some neglected wheels.

I fully agree.. But i don't see a point in buying rims that are beat up.. Save up and look for a good set

Oh don't worry, if I don't find a decent to nice set, I won't buy them lol if I get one or 2 at a time then I'll just have to deal with it hahaha

Love my turbine wheels on 1.25" spacers. Just dipped them recently, they were in good condition before too.

Thank you! I like it more personally but wouldn't paint them, the dip also helps against the winter salt.
