How to identify Solid vs Hollow Turbo Wheel?
How to identify Solid vs Hollow Turbo Wheel?
I am buying a used car and the owner is claiming to have turbo-like hollow wheels. How can I tell if these wheels are hollow or solid? I read a post that said the solid wheels will have ridges behind each spoke and the smooth stems are hollow. The solid wheels will have a plastic stem valve and the hollow will have metal stem valves. The owners is claiming the opposite, that ridge = hollow wheels.
Anyone out there know the answer?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Goobu,
The owner is correct. The spokes with ridges are the hollow turbo wheels.
The solid turbo wheels have a vertical groove behind each spoke.
