Long story short, I had to get a tow home this morning as my oil cooler line blew in my van. So as I am talking to the tow guy on the way to my house, he began to tell me that he got some Corvette wheels off a '86. He began to describe them as those awesome turbine wheels. He said that he only paid $125 for them and that he was going to put them on his S-10.
He then began to tell me that he had a friend want them and he offered to sell them to him for $500. The friend declined because he knew that he only had paid $125 for them. The tow guy told the friend that it didn't matter because they were indeed worth $500. How funny. Its just funny how some people think that just because it came from a Corvette, it must mean that its worth a gazillion dollars. |

If the S-10 is sufficiently ugly and neglected, maybe even some body damage and clear coat peel, they blend in quite well. |

I've seen it done before.
They actually look more suited to the S10 than to the vette! 9.5 or even 8.5 can be pretty wide for that though, it probably has 6" wheels from the factory. |

I love seeing ads of other cars for sale with a "Corvette engine" in it as if it makes the car something special.
Goes to show how little most really know about cars. |

Don't be dissin' on the Awesome Turbines.
They fit the S10 frame perfectly, and lower the truck 1", all at the same time. (got to remove the front center caps if truck is 4WD) For sale, $200.00. You pick-em up.
