They're gunmetal with a polished lip...purdy.

UniqueTII 07-26-2002 11:17 AM

Or these...silver with polished lip:

Also, is ADR a decent brand? They only weigh 18 pounds for 17x7s.

Enkei RS5s were my other choice:

i like the first ones. id get them at least 1" bigger though, i like filling up the gap.

i was thinking of going with black or opal on my next set of wheels.

Dark spokes and polished lips always look good!



here is a pic of my old school 15's on my 2.3 Mustang

The ones I have on now are 16s, and whatever I get next will be 17.



I do like the look of dark spokes with a polished lip, but those RS5s are so sexy.

Like I said old school wheels.. but for 200 bucks with no curb damage and decent tires I will take them!



A lot better than 195/75/14's



Which would you take?

215/60/15

or 195/75/14

????





Besides looks a lot better in person. The car has some dark pin style graphics on it that help the wheels out. gives the car a nice clean old school look. Gotten a fair amount of compliments on them. But I love the polished lips setup. Also yes Import wheels tend to be a bit more extreme than domestic ones. Well at least the rwd domestics...



But I think those gunmetal wheels in a 17 or 18 would look pretty damn good!



here is another shot of the wheel on the car....

Those Enkei's are clean as hell, i'd run those.

Those rims are as old as you Bigtime, keep in mind that there was about 2% of the choices of rims available these days as there was back then ( in the mid 80's), NO ONE HAD 16, or 17" rims, if you had 16's they were exotic and found only on a set of $3500+ rims, or the worlds most exotic cars. BY the way, those RS5s are $125 a piece from Whalen Tire, I was thinking of putting those on my other car when I paint it in the next few weeks after I finish the body work , insurance is paying me $660 a rim for my OEM wheels times that by the 2 that got damaged, and I got enough for a whole new set of rims AND tires! Almost a good thing my car getting hit, the total damage was adjusted, then it will get supplimented Monday, so the total amount will be about $6500.

UniqueTII 08-06-2002 03:25 PM

I was planning on getting them from Whalen...it's about $930 shipped for rims with tires mounted and balanced and new lug nuts.
