New Wheels?

[hyunelan2]

I came across the Finn F-102s when I was looking with sed for rims for his car. (No sed, I'm not changing my rims because you don't like them). I really liked the 9-spoke wheel. Kinda different. Anyway here's a chop. What do you think?

I like your current rims better personally.

These O.Z. Superturismo GT wheels would look even nicer...

And they're available in 16" or 17". :)

16 spoke. hmm. That = 1 more PITA to clean, lol. I do like those too.

multispokes are almost ghey as mariconson.com

shawn :)

One thing about wheels with that many spokes is that they tend to only look good when they're big. So the 16" version may not look so great. The 17's should look nice though.

I still think you could do better than those 9-spokes.

These are a close-up of the 9-spoke.

Steve- any quick links of where I can find info on the wheels you posted above? I'll probably stay 17" so I don't have to buy new tires.


OR I'll do nothing.

They sell them at tirerack.com.

They are low-pressure cast so they're going to be stronger than conventional gravity cast wheels like you and I have. So that's why they're over $200 each. O.Z. Racing also has an excellent warranty for their wheels so if you damage one you can get it replaced.

I like your current wheels personally. Yes they are a PITA to keep clean but so are the factory wheel covers when you really think about it. And open spoke wheels do nothing but showcase how ghey our dinky little brakes look. Not hatin, just speaking the truth.

So that's why they're over $200 each.


Ouch. The only reason I was considering those Finns was bacause it's $380 for the set.

I like your current ones better. Those 9-spokes are pretty eww.

[mrhoaf]

stick with the current wheels.....

[ilanpro]

go with the Centerline storm

[getfuzzd]

The superturismo are probably lighter than any of the others too....I'm trying to save up for them just for the weight diff....or some volks by christmas

personally I like both of them....but the exel's look "Faster" in my opinion.....

faster= videotape a spinning wheel, even a 5 spoke, and you see more spokes than you should.

[ilanpro]

Centerlines are 11 lbs for a 15" wheel with a 3year luster warranty

Your current wheels look much better.

I like the ones you are wanting to get. Dont' get me wrong, the ones you have look good too. If it's a PITA to clean I would go w/the other ones. I know what you mean by cleaning the factory hubs....PITA!
