I'm not sure for me...they're not bad, but I'd have to see them on a car.

Photoshop anyone? :D

1) have you tried them on your car for fit?

2) who makes them and how much?

3) what size do they come in? :crazy:

OOOHHHH YYYEEEAAHH!!!!!!!!!

Please post mfg., sizes, price, etc.
I had a set of Halibrands, but then again so did every one else. (kinda like belly buttons and buttholes around here.) Halibrand is just 30 miles or so down the road. Don't get me wrong I really liked them, and they were a great wheel, just too many of them on everything else. Now I'm back to 8" rally's with 67 center caps. I REALLY need something different to go along with my paint job and these would be something that I have not seen around here at all.

Thanks,
DaBo

I'm more into the vintage or traditional wheels, but I can think of a lot of cars that those would look nice on...... :yesnod:

Ok...you did ask for opinions. Yuk!
It looks like it belongs on a Christmas tree with all the other baubles.
Sorry, but I just don't like them. :U

I wanted those wheels for my truck,but couldn't justify the price. The price was about the same as the TT's. I don't remember who made them. I would love to put a set on my Vette.

Awsome wheels :eek: Not sure they would look cool on a shark though. The brake components better be spotless if you use these on a shark :yesnod:

Hey Ylose, the wheels in the bottom pic are awsome. I've seen them at Pep Boys, and are moderatly priced. Are they American Racing? :cheers:

GroovyJay I like them. :cool: The have a hightech look about them. Are you thinking of going with these ? Are you still going to go with 20" wheels ? I think they would look great with some Wilwood billet calipers on there (yum yum :p: )

SmokedTires: I've given it some thought, but I'm not sure yet. You can get them in 15-20 diameter, but only 8.5" wide :confused: and I would like to have at least 9.5" at the rear. 20" is still the way to go!!! :cheers:
I just painted the brake calibers yesterday and I know that I have to pay alot of attention on the brake set up to make em look good.

Maybe by installing something like this would take care of it:

I agree. Looks like the rims I see on way too many of the SUVs the pimp daddy's drive around here.

That is a VERY sweet brake set up. Now why don't all cars come with brakes like that :rolleyes: . Are you installing offset t-arms for the 9.5" rears ? When do you expect to be done with everything?

Groovyjay, have you looked at Image wheels ( www.imagewheels.co.uk)? They say they make every wheel to order so getting the right back space etc shouldn't be a problem. Their pricelist has 20" inch wheels up to 13.5" wide... Ofcourse it's a matter of finding a design that one likes.
