What Do You Think?

[Gr|m|ock]

I have a friend trying to convince me into getting these but it's not too much my style. The more and more that I look at the pics it seems to grow on me but I don't have $2k right now for these. What is the eye opinion, the first initial look with these on the car, would you get it for yours as well or like I feel too many "spokes"?

I think they would look great on your car. Same exact style wheels I have. Mine just aren't black.

[JB3nd3r]

I like em'... I've seen a pic with those on a black t/a, looks good imo

[Htowns87rs]

i like those better than the one u have on her now....2k ouch is that includin new tires?

[Mukyluk]

They are HP Racing Rims, those are called Lightning "Evo"

[rooster99ss]

they look badass eddie. they don't get my approval until you post up some sizes though. you need to get away from the pizza cutters bro. as long as you can put some meat on them, i say 100% you need to buy them :thumb:

[Big Chuk]

Heck yea now your car will look better than the ROOSTERS, but not as good as MINE

[Gr|m|ock]

Well $hit, that means I will have to skip a few months of meetings and dinners to save up for these money pit anchors. Gabe said they come in 19"s staggered even. Anybody want to help a fella out and give me a loan? :D.

Ok, I guess I can start with a set of Chrome Zr1's with 315's in the back and 9"'s in the front for.........what is a good price to begin? $600 rims and tires?


Randy, what does it mean "Pizza Cutters", the pattern of the wheel innerds or the skinniness of the rims I am on?

(no smarta$$ comments please guys, I'm still on a learning curve).

Thanks :D.

[Big Chuk]

Not too many spokes they look sharp :thumb:

[Gr|m|ock]

Well then I better not get them because he'll ban my a$$ out of here. However, I can never get my engine bay to look like his where you can eat a meal on top of them and not worry about dirtying anything. :dunno:.

lol, it means your tires are too skinny. you need some wider tires for that car to:

1. hook up

2. look right

:thumb:

Too many spokes for me, that's what I don't like about them. I know many of you aren't the rivit type but I love rivets for some reason. :dunno:.

[Big Chuk]

Thats because he don't DRIVE his It's a really fast show "QUEEN"

[Gr|m|ock]

I guess I better slip the ZR1's back on :dunno:.

I don't generaly like them but they look good on some wheels,like those,they blend in with the rims:thumb:

[rooster99ss]

mine gets driven all over the damn place :true:

[Big Chuk]

If you call to ARD & back home all over the place :p

[rooster99ss]

well it is like 50 miles one way :lol:

[Big Chuk]

LoL

[Gr|m|ock]

mine gets driven all over the damn place :true:


We;re still talking about your car not your rig right Randy? :D

[Gr|m|ock]

If you call to ARD & back home all over the place :p

I live closer but log more trips back and forth, does that county Chuk?

[Big Chuk]

LoL thats why you cant keep it as clean as Randys

[Red92RS]

Get them Eddie:thumb:

[Gr|m|ock]

Lend me Daniel!

[imlooking]

yeah, those rims would look awesome eddie.

i've never seen black HP's on a black f-body though.

i've seen the polished HP's on damn near every single colored f-body.

[Mr_Jee]

I agree with most here, those rims would look sick on your ride, even though i hate rivets, i think you can pull it off without too much focus on them..and hey you can spray paint them!! j/k

[Htowns87rs]

old

[Gr|m|ock]

Different strokes for different folks (as I just said recently ona diff thread). I like rivits for some reason, same as I like ground effect kits on our cars (If it's not too obtrusive). I really wished I would have gotten them but freaking Gabe already sold them. There is a current member here that has them on his red car, I think the rims are gray or something. And thanks for reminding me about this thread, I bought the shovel to bury it but forgot. :D.

[Gr|m|ock]

Oh, and btw, Gabe lies, he said he shaves his legs :lol:.

[1969mach1]

you should have bought one at atime. :thumb: and mounted them on the car has you got them.

[Blackfly]

Eddie!

IMOHO... if they are any bigger that 18's don't get them.


Personally anything larger than 18's just don't look right.

Im looking for a set as a spare.


Good luck on your search.

[Gr|m|ock]

Thank you sir. I almost forget this thread existed hehehe.

[tommie]

so, what wheels are you getting?

[Mr_Jee]

Ill sell you my boyds!!:)

[Gr|m|ock]

Pics or ban.

[Mr_Jee]

1k with one brand new tire. some scratches on two of the rims, other tires have like 50% or so thread left. other two rims are close to mint.

one rim has a small bend on the inside, they balance out perfect.

kind of hard to get close up pics, but if you want to have a look, let me know, ill tell my sis and dad you will be showing up to look at them.
