21 March 2001 I'll throw my five cents in here. The Ford Motor Co. Turbine wheel with verticle spokes are in some cases all aluminum and were put on thousands of Lincolns, Mercury's, and Ford LTD's. The last set I bought was $100.00 for 5 with centers. I painted the Mercury center with black paint and put Avanti decals on the wheels. They were the best looking substitute wheels I have seen with the possiability of the wheels that Nostalgic sells for $450.00 with centers and lugs. Ernest Edwards"
