Mr Polson 10,214 Posted October 30, 2015 Hmm not sure. Look a little big as 19s I think. Maybe 17s would be okay, but just not really appealing to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu xe 825 Posted October 30, 2015 Why did they only do em as an 8" width. Need more fat. 1 78xcgxl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why did they only do em as an 8" width. Need more fat. Agreed, but they wouldn't be a cheap exercise to have made, gotta judge the market and start somewhere. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SirkWhyXF 1,533 Posted October 30, 2015 Yeah price is too much to be really appealing, just exited cause I've been dreaming about these for years. 1 Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,270 Posted October 30, 2015 Wait a year or two, the trailer queens will get sick of them and find something new.

Defective 1,692 Posted October 31, 2015 Whole lot of hell no. They just look weird to me. Kinda like the big diameter snowflakes, they just don't look right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nath 1,975 Posted October 31, 2015 Low profile tyres on big rims don't suit older cars. Just like 14s with heaps of rubber would look retarded on an FG. Other than the wheels I reckon it looks sweet. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

broken-wheel 659 Posted December 29, 2015 big wheels on classic cars reminds me of: you'll fine some "uleee" buyers with no taste and it's a sure way to damage any brand down the track 16"on the front and 17" on the rears would do an gt replica OK, probably 8" fronts and 9.5" rears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZXD 2,328 Posted January 6, 2016 I like the fronts but for some reason the backs don't look right, maybe they need a bit of dish? 1 tpak addict reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirkWhyXF 1,533 Posted January 6, 2016 I like the fronts but for some reason the backs don't look right, maybe they need a bit of dish? Yeah I do agree, I think they need a wider wheel for the rear they sit too far in the guard, there just seems to be too much room there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted January 7, 2016 Yep, very period looking, I dig them, like early BBS. They aren't Hotwires though, they were one-piece cast and machined face. 1 SirkWhyXF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
