Yeah, I guess I better throw it away, it certainly doesn't help at all. :th_jester:
At least I ain't rolling on stockers. :th_jester:
LOL, I know you are but what am I???? :th_jester::th_laugh-pointup:
Another guy probably rolling on stockers too :th_shakinghead1: :th_jester:
People gotta learn, only thing stockers are good for is mounting up and slicks or DRs. Other then that they belong in the shed or attic. Thats why I have two sets of polished torque stars in my attic collecting dust. :th_thumbsup-wink:
Five Spoke and Chrome is the only way to roll IMO, i'm old school though. I think my 10 year old KMC Motions get the job done very well thank you very much :th_winking:
Although i've been looking to change it up again since i've had those rims for a decade, my next rims will still at the very least be a 5 spoke design in chrome..... :th_rockon2:

Those grilles make it look like there's a prison cell behind your front bumper cover.

I have two sets like I said, and there ugly as hell. There just not a good looking rim. Me, my dad, and my GF noticed that ASAP, all of them have aftermarket rims on there GPs. Like I said, they make good space in the attic, or mounted on some Hoosier QTPs. When I bought my GTP, the stock wheels we're off in less than 24 hours and haven't been back on since. Until I get some slicks that is.
As for aftermarket, I always buy good wheels. I bought my KMC Motion 754 wheels 10 years ago, I forget but they were well over $1,000+ . There 10 years old and have at least 200,000 miles on them between two cars and I run them year round too. The chrome on all of them is great, none of them ever been curbed, pretty damn good wheels IMO. I got my moneys worth out of them. I may hang on to them, they owe me nothing.
Yeah i've seen those before, not quite the style of spoke I like though. Plus I don't like those wannabe rivits/dimples. Not my taste. I seen a set today when I went wheel shopping.
The AR 192 look good, but everyone and there dog has them, very overplayed IMO.
Yeah I suppose, if you like that style wheel which ain't my taste. The 95-96 5-spoke 16x8s look 150 times better than those, but there big draw back is not being availible and chrome. I kinda like the hidden lugs on mine better too, besides I hate polishing rims or anything, Chrome FTW hands down IMO. You can polish wheels all day to get a shine, I can spend 10 mins with a bottle of windex and outshine a polished rim any day of the week period, even on my 10 year old rollers. The choice is easy for me.
Why do people have the ass for my wheels anyway? I don't get it, there a standard 5 spoke wheel and there chrome. I could see if someone hated that design, but I don't get it. Is it because there not 18s? Is it because they don't show off nasty beat uo lug nuts?
I get more compliments on my decade old wheels than I do any other part of my car, then again no one really notices my car itself, its just another GP.
To clarify, I'm a big fan of 5 spoke wheels + chrome, not to say I hate ever other wheel too. For ex, I like the Stang Bullits but the only reason I wouldn't do those is that there VERY common in the GP world nowadays, and I like to be a bit different. Much like the AE 077s were back in the day...

i just think the spokes are too wide. they look like someone that just bought them because they were more bling than the stock wheels were.
i would love to run the 95-96 5 spokes. my brother has a set on his 95 and we were going to swap, but to run my wheels he had to do a decent amount of work to make them fit without hitting the brake calipers and what not. also, they are only 16x7. the 16x8 wheels are the pre-gen crosslaces that came on the GTP and mclaren.

Well I guess that was part of the plan! LOL. Seriously though, I actully bought the wider spoke on purpose for my old car. Even though I detail my brakes I never like showing off too much brakes, I've never really liked the looks of brakes that much.
Although i'll admit it, recently i've been seriously thinking about painting my caliper some kinda color. All these years i've been painting everything gloss black.
Oh really? Hell I thought they 16x8 like the crosslaces, my bad. Those pre-gen 5 spokes have a nice offset don't they? I like the dish in them, they should of used that wheel on the 97-03s. If I could score a set for dirt cheap, and find someone to chrome them for cheap, i'd roll them for sure.

they are a very nice wheel set to run and the 7" wide instead of the 6.5" wide like our stockers helps out with running a bigger tire. i was always weary that when i was running 245s that i was going to roll the bead. never did and i drive my car like it owes me money, so i guess im lucky.
ill be running 255s on my cobra wheels this year. we'll see if those can help me get some 1.8x 60 ft. times at the track on street tires. booyah.

LOL! I used to run 245/50/16 Potenza RE730s and I used to worry about rolling the bead too. Although I never heard of someone actully doing it. I was glad to go back to 225/60s.
What kinda Cobra wheels?
