Re: New wheels not seen on too many third gens

Pretty cool wheels, just a few too many spokes for my taste. I do like the contrast between the wheel and the polished lip. At least it looks like the rim has a satin finish with a polished lip. They seem like the kind of wheels that would grow on me, though. In fact, on that car, they do look pretty good. Are they 18's?

I like them. On another car they may not look as good. That contrast between your darker paint and lighter color satin finish wheels really pops. On a white car or even a bright gm red car I think they would not look as good. I planned on a set of multispokes for my '97 however I want something a lttle different.

Yeah there 18's, I got them for a good deal so I picked them up and when I installed them I loved them so I kept them. They were originally on my 4th gen but then I wrecked it, so I bought some spacers and threw them on my third gen.

Re: New wheels not seen on too many third gens

Thanks guys, I love my car. They do make them in black too but I dont think it would look as nice in black, but who knows maybe on a black car it would.

Re: New wheels not seen on too many third gens

They look pretty good. Now lower your car a couple more inches and add some wider spacers and it would look even better.

Its lowered on eibach sportlines and it has 1 1/4 spacers. Cuz its a formula you cant tell that its lowered but if its next to a stock formula you can easily tell.
