I googled and looked, but could not find an answer.

I'm selling them, and/or might plasti dip them before I do.

Depends on the year. My 89 came stock with turbines. I don't know which year the ponies became the gt wheel.
Big 5-spoke wheel = pony wheel
Turbine wheel looks like it sounds

These are all unofficial names btw...but popularly used.

I doubt in the 80's, you could want into a dealer and hear them call them "turbines" or "fan-blades"

I still have my original Turbines from my '88 vert stored away. I used to love them back in the day.

After all these years that look is kinda growing on me again. I believe I'd bolt them back on if they were 17".

I remember they were hell to clean though. LOL

I wish i kept my 10-holes.

On a scale of 1 to 10, they were a 9.5. Pretty much as close to new that you could get. Sold them for $100 ;(
