these wheels pictured are Appliance Turbovec wheels which were cast in 1976. They came in 15X7 and 15X8.5. I have a set on my 81 corvette and 2 more complete sets in my garage.

Default Just wondering what kind of wheels I have and if there worth anything.

So I got an old set of appliance wheels that came off a 70’s corvette. On the inside of them they say (15x7 51.3 1977-) with a old sema sticker and blue center caps. And idea?

Ya. In the '70's we called them "turbo" wheels for some reason.
