Typical me, I have acquired two sets of turbine wheels that I want to run. I'm going for a vintage/retro 70's offroad look. They will be powder coated PPG Sun Gold PCUT33100 (same as the factory Golden Eagle wheels). The wheels are both 15x8.5 (the 15x10 are hard to find). The problem I am having now is, which set do I run? Do I run the 15 spoke turbines or the 30 spoke turbines? I like them both!
What say you???
15 spokes
30 spokes
This is the Jeep
And this is the color I want to powder coat the wheels

The obvious choice is to run one set on the left and the other on the right.

I could. They need some work, though. PM me if interested.

Maybe start a poll thread?

15, 30 looks too ghetto velocity channle low riderish to me.. plus its going to be hard to clean.. I already hate the stock grand wagoneer wheels as they are so hard to clean vs the pentstar wheel my 5.9 zj has.
I like your original look with those rims with the round holes.
Its hard to picyure without seeing the spoked wheel on that pretty red Jeep.. but i think the ones on it make it look more offroadish to me and i like that look it already has. The spoked wheels make a vehicle look more show carish . If that makes sense ?
Get one of your tires mounted on the 15 spoke wheel and take another picture between it and the pic you posted of your current rims. If you can do that i mean. Dont wanna make you blow 20-30$ for mounting a tire just to see
