giotein Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 with that shape like "sonic the hedgehog doing his crazy spin" or one of those disc saws... would that mean the rims would look differently on either side of the car? one "sonic" spinning forwards and on the otherside "sonic" spinning backwards?? edit: not sure if that made any sense.......

PGT Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 looks like '99 Integra wheels. http://www.satoauto.com/images/Int_Cpe_1999.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting question. I would think you'd need right wheels and left wheels. I'm not a big fan of them personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The ones on the other side of the car go on upside down, any fool knows that Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giotein Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 yea.. i don't think they would make a "left" "right" for our convinence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix96 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The Subaru SVX had wheels with spokes slanted forward, and had different wheels for left and right (so they point toward the front of the car from either side). phoenix96 2006 Legacy GT Ltd · 2011 Outback 3.6R Ltd · 1992 SVX 2006 Outback 3.0R VDC · 2009 Forester 2.5X 2002 Outback VDC · 1996 Outback 2.5L · 1986 GL-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_luv Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 yes these will both point in the same direction unlike the mazda 6 where the spokes point in either direction depending on what side of the car your on. Mr.350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 They look okay but I wouldn't want to have to find a specific "side" if I screwed one up somehow. And I'm not a fan of the "multi-fit" 5-100/5-114 wheel lug hole configuration. Just make it one or the other, not both.

EL PAALO Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I like the wheel by itself, but have never liked them on any car they've been on. might look okay on an airplane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Nah. You can do better. I had directional OE wheels on my probe gt. Straight spokes, but the spokes were canted like a wing edge or something. The last time I put tires on it, the morons put directional tires on the wheels in the wrong order, so I had the tires all facing the front, but the wheels on one side of the car didn't match. A left on the right side, and a right on the left side, and to switch the wheels back would have turned the tires backwards. I was less than pleased, and had it changed.

Mr Luv, you sure love those "turbine" rims.. how about looking for something less directional? the only wheel that is going to make you go faster are lighter ones, not the ones that "spin" Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
