Thoughts on these wheels?

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...

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!

bigbird · Post by **bigbird** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:10 pm

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » 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.
