I agree with TT on the subject of the wheels, they are pretty bad.
However, not all is lost. I found a place that will straighten them to a
point that is acceptable. I now use them with static weights weighing
anywhere from 4-6 oz. for each wheel.
An alternative are the wheels from a '92 Lincoln Town Car. The turbine is
very close but you'll have to bore the center hole oversize by 1/8 of an
inch to get them to fit the axle.
I also did this but later found I could fix the B wheels instead.
Either way will work and still looks nice. The place that straightens the
wheels will sand blast and clear coat them for $150 per. The place is called
Newton Wheel & Rim, Newton MA.
Ask for Ina, she knows the B wheels and is very nice. Expect a 2 week
turn-around.
