Default Turbo blades

I have a set of Turbo blades that I want to sell but the tyres are not road worthy would it be better to get the tyres removed or just leave it up to who ever buys them?

i would leave it up to the new owner of the rims....

but if you want to strip them to make it easier to transport. the choice is ultimately yours anyway

$80 for scrap tyres? I have never heard of that before might have to check it out.

They could be used as burnout tyres I guess (private road of course)

As Phil showed, they are the wheels that were on EA Ghias as well as EB and ED Fairmonts.

Here's a close up pic of them. God I don't miss those scratched up and clear-coat peeling wheels (although they are still in the garage). I don't miss that ride height either!

No. If you're talking about the ones in your avatar, they are most commonly known as FTRs
