tanda62 Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I have been trying to contact Turner Brakes and have had no luck. Are they still in business? Tried email and calling. Wondering if these wheels, 16 by 7 would fit either the stock brake setup on a 63 Avanti or the Turner brake setup (front and rear disc). If not, anyone know of a similar looking wheel that would fit?

studegary Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 He fairly recently relocated to South Carolina. Is that where you are trying to reach him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanda62 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Thanks for the reply. I tried the number on the website - the address is in South Carolina but the area code is Indianapolis. Maybe an updated number will be coming to the website soon. I know moving can make things "interesting" having moved many times with the military.

tanda62 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Found these wheels as a possible, size 16 by 6: https://www.rocketracingwheels.com/rocket-igniter-gray/p38 With these tires maybe? https://www.cokertire.com/tires/p215-65r16-bf-goodrich-redline.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntenna Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Have you tried a vendor, such as Jon Myer or Bob Ziff? They usually have Turner kits in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanda62 Posted August 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Should have posted an update. I talked with Turner and have orders front and rear brakes. Also got the Rocket Racing wheels and knock offs and think they look great. Getting ready to pull the transmission out and then the engine. Then the suspensions will come off and the frame stripped. Getting closer to turning the corner on the rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avanti83 Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Those are nice wheels. Good luck on the rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntenna Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Glad you got hooked up. I run the AMR VR470 Salt Flats, very similar. With the right tires it’s a good look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanda62 Posted August 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 I agree about the tires. I am planning on running some Redlines. Coker has Bf Goodrich but I am leaning towards the Uniroyal ones Diamond Back tires sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
