I love turbine wheels...

There's plenty of contrast there IMO with the bare edges...works with the paint pattern contrast.

That style blue & white K5 has been my fav since I saw Jaws 2 back in the day

looks good!

Works for me!

 

[chicken joe]

they were yellow, i tried using air craft striper on the one and didnt like how it reacted with the aluminum so had them blasted and painted blue.

They look good.

I like them a lot

Is there a full coat of clear over the whole wheel? Otherwise, don't drive them in winter.

Ive always been a fan of those wheels. It looks great.

 

[chicken joe]

i figured out what i dont like about them. the front have new shiney center caps and it reflects back on the rim and makes them look brighter. the back center caps are older and not so shiney, so not reflecting as much.

I think they look great and are a good match for your blazer.

I like them. And I like the blue inside. It works with the truck.

No offense Joe, but I've never been a fan of the turbine wheels....even though I own some (in the top of the garage!) but those look great paint matched to your truck.
As Rich mentioned, and I'm sure you know....the salt on raw aluminum is vicious!

been running mine for years on plow truck and no problems .

its the polished aluminum and scratched up clear coat it gets under that screws them up bad .

 

[76zimmer]

they must be protected somehow????

I've seen raw aluminum, like running boards get eaten up in a couple years
