Bonspeed Wheels

Has anyone heard of these guys? I was looking for 17's for my car since I lowered it and came across some cool and interesting designs what do you think? I know there is a lot of choice for this company but I picked about 6 I like.

Choice 1 (Hunington)


Choice 2 (Laguna) in blue or black


Choice 3 (PCH)


Choice 4 (Palisade) in blue or black


Choice 5 (Clutch)


Choice 6 (Intense 5)

Yeah i agree with the PHC's they kinda look like a more modern 85-87 iroc wheel.

1 and 6 only because i've personally seen them on the car...

17" is quite small for some of those crazy designs. if you went larger my choices would change. also, they make a very nice quality wheel... expensive but quality.

Is this the site where you got your information? http://www.uswheel.com/bonspeed/set.htm

I have never heard of the company before.

All 6 choices are slight variations on the 5-spoke theme. I think that any of them would look good on the right 3rd gen. My personel choice would be number 6, the Intense 5.

Kandied91z, how do these compare pricewise to say Boyds?

From what I found a set of these wheels will run $1600 without tires.

now that boyd coddington has raised his prices heavily i'd say equally. better quality out of bonspeed though. both have been around for a long time..
