I'm looking for a set of 240 5 spoke turbo 15" rims for my 145 Auto X car. If they had stikey tires on them all the better. respond to harv@dvoice.com

I really like the idea of a 145 autocrosser.... a guy who works at Eurocars Plus in Connecticut has a lowered 70 145S with the turbo rims... looks way cool. Unfortunately I don't have a set for sale, but they are common enough... you can get them from any 81-85 240T or 80 242GT. As noted, there's always a set or two on Ebay... Good luck!

I've heard about these wheels but dont know exactly what they look like. Might look good on my 164! I know there is a lot of variables in price, depending on condition etc...but what would be a ballpark figure for a set of 5 spoke Turbo wheels? There are none currently on E bay. Anyone have a picture of them ???

Now that you know what they look like on a 145, they make a great addition to a 164. A few years back, when I had a navy blue 164, I had a set of the Turbo wheels on it with 205/60x15 tyres. Looked great and fit under the wheel wells just fine. The only thing that doesnt fit when using Turbo wheels on a 140/160 is the center hubcap. If you were to get the center hubcaps from the 14" 25 spoke alloys, they will fit and clear the bearing cover on the 140/160.

Good luck

You can run the correct turbo caps on the front wheels with either after market grease caps or stock grease caps and a hammer
