simontempler Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 The outside edge of the rim is going to be 1/4" further out due to the increased width... The shoulder of the tire would be in roughly the same place though. I'm not so sure about 8" wheels, so 8.5 seems too wide to me. But maybe that's just me. Opinions differ. That will suck if it sticks out. Thanks for the input! *btw, how does one do a multi-quote into a single window.. other forums have a button where I can just click on, but I can't find it on this forum..

Hanger Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks for a great job 'shopping this, Hanger! Ya know.. the way these spokes are shaped, how they kinda 'wave' out and then dive into the center cap makes it look quite stunning in real life.. very unique, really. Its also a 2 pc wheel - spokes are hi pressure cast and rims are 100% forged.. makes it quite a strong wheel, IMHO. try it ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katalyst Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 you know, they didn't look half as bad as i thought, i mean for sure the red clashes but if they were gunmetal it might look alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simontempler Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 They actually don't. Pics don't really do it justice.. We'll see after I wash my car tomorrow. I do like the fact that its shows the coilovers and trick suspension bits that one doesn't normally see with normal spoked wheels.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Looks great. I've always liked 3-spoke designs.... I had an ebay search for Antera 109s [/url](no longer in production) for several months before I gave up and settled for 7-spokes instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonLGT Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 at least you can see those brakes better. Good luck trying to ever sell those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.sane Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 ^ I thought it was spread legs of a chick too...I guess we're too perverted lol These wheels are def out of the ordinary on our cars, it doesn't seem that bad if it was a different color, perhaps gloss black. It shows off those awesome brakes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonLGT Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Not to worry. I'll never sell them here. BTW, there are buyers already. I wasn't implying that they were ugly. I just figured with a 5x100 bolt pattern, possible customers would be limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
