Interesting. It's the detail on the spokes that I really like, since the bland 5 spoke pattern on my PT wheels (and RT wheels) is growing so very old.

Thanks for your opinion though!

What kills those rims for me is the WEIGHT:

Offset: 40mm

Backspacing: 5.82"
Bolt Pattern: 5-100
Rec. Tire Size: 195/50-16
Weight: 20.5lbs.

16" rims that weigh 20lbs are performance killers in my book. If you can find a set of 16's that weigh less then go for it IMO!

LMAO so do I! Trust me you WILL feel the weight of those rims as they affect the ATX; and yes, call me

but I strive for every ounce performance I can squeeze outta my ATX. You think the car takes forever to get up to speed now? Throw some heavy assed rims on, them PM me.

Why do you think I run on snowflakes in the winter and my Rotas in the summer?! My rim/tire COMBO weighs just a lil' more than those rims ALONE! Shop WISELY now bro, thank me later.

Anyone know what the 16" PT wheels weigh? For some reason I recall them being close to that weight as well.

Triumph says...

I think that they're a great wheel.

For me to poop on!

For real though, they're a Mustang wheel, and they're just too busy in any diameter under 18".

If 5 spokes are your thing, then why not go with the tried and true Rota slipstream? They're light, good looking, inexpensive, and available in 16" and steel gray. I think they'd look BA on your car.

Because everybody has rota's. If I wanted my car to look like every other silver Neon I have seen around me, I wouldn't mod it.

No offense to those with Rota's, but I don't want to be just another Neon with them, ya know? I'm looking for something different.

How about those? I should be able to run a 225/45/17 which would give me a good sidewall still, and be about the same height as my current tires. I would probably go with either silver with machined lip, or black with machined lip...

Hey, we can all dream, can't we?

Posted: **Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:04 pm**

Yes yes dreams are nice to have. Ha ha most of them don't come true though, which sucks.

My "financial planner" is telling me not to, but I think I'm going to ignore him and get them sometime soon... if I can find a price on them and make sure they fit!

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:11 pm**

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:14 pm**

Hmmmm, I'm considering going with a set of Konig Theory wheels that I can get a good deal on... but I need to find a 4th one somewhere lol.

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:14 pm**

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:15 pm**

How much u offering for them?

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:10 pm**

haha...unless I get an unexpected raise or win some money, Im broke as a joke! Seriously, I have been wanting some of these wheels for a long time.

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:46 pm**

Well, depending on how much it's going to cost me to paint/PC the wheels I'm getting from the "financial planner" these may be up for sale in the next few weeks.

Otherwise they'll be up for sale in springtime.

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 7:47 pm**
