Need help deciding which wheel

I'm having a hard time deciding. My car is a 92 artic white heritage. It will have a cervini's cowl hood with red hood and deck stripes. Which one of these would look best? Other choices are welcomed.


#1 centerline meteor


#2 boyd timeless 5

They are both very nice. You should pick the one you like best. I think it comes down to how many spokes you want.

boath of those are really nice. Normally I would say go with the 5 spoke, but I think the first ones would look good too. maby someone could photoshop them on your ride.

Mine is an empty hull at the moment. I don't have any decent pictures of it yet. I know there are several heritages here I could borrow for a photoshop. Let me see. I'll post it over in that forum.

The prices are comparable. I did find out the centerline is discontinued. Centerline stated they could make them up for me. 17x9.5 for around 300 each. The 17x8 for 282 each. The boyd's I can get the set shipped for about 1450 with lugs and stems. I'm leaning towards the boyds.

I think the first one would look better on your car than the second.

look into boze www.bozeforged.com and intro www.introwheels.com

both make a much higher quality wheel for around the same price as boyd. you'll also have alot more options with fit and finish.

as for the wheels themselves it's personal preference, myself i'd say neithe of the two. the timless looks terrible wether it's a 15 or a 20" on our cars and the first one being that it's a standard step lip takes away from the spoke design. something like the budnik gasser (sp*) would be really nice if you like the first design and intros similar version called the gt sport.

check them out here:
http://www.introwheels.com/w_exposed.shtml

the gt sport, malibu and emotion are all quite similar. i'd look a little more though, you'll be happier in the end.

number 2 looks good, but the ones jeff posted look even better, but the prob with those is that you need some nice brakes to go behind them , so theirs probably 1000-2000 depending on if you make your own orgrade brakes or buy baer.
