need opinion on these 3 spoke rims.

[starh4x]

sold my ugly chromies and now on a rim search.

I've found these rims for pretty cheap, they're 3 spoke. i've never seen 3 spoke on a galant. does anyone think it could look decent if i got them painted chrome? just thouht it might be something different from all the 5 and 6 spokes.

sorry for poor photoshop job.

[E_Emerson88]

i dont think it looks good. but if you like it go for it

[starh4x]

im kind of undecided. your guys opinions will decide if i get them or not

[E_Emerson88]

have you seen these on ANY car? lol

[starh4x]

LOLOL no. imagine them painted white. still look ugly?

[Reelax]

eww. those ONLY look good if they are HUGE (20"+), on a BENZ and made by BRABUS (the original is MONOBLOCK II).

[kalvinsaid]

nayy nayy nayyyyyyyy. hahah they look wierd. thats just my opinion though. sorry if i offended you.

[starh4x]

yeh ive seen the same style on a Benz somewhere. lol no offense taken. I'de rather be told their ugly now then buy them and be told that.

[ShiZnitH]

Go for the 3 spokes rims from Japan and not so huge!

[V6GTZ]

I agree with the guys it looks ugly.

[Fishboy55]

Not my taste at all.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Yuck!!! im glad you asked before you bought those!

[SleekGTZ]

Sorry, not feeling it as well.
Better to save up and get better wheels, you won't regret it.

[djakay]

[Jeffylou87]

^ Those are very expensive..

[pinoyesv6]

those 17's won't look as big on your car.

[9G]

thats something different.

[greddy]

Yeah, if you go three spoke, go with the advans, they are spendy though

[Frankv]

These remind me of those huge 40" three spoke wheels for those lifted cars. Whatever they are called, "DONKS" or sumthing. But if that is whats happening over where you are it. Go for it.

[EATsleepJDM]

those super advans are nice but i dont think they would look good on a 8g.i would only put them on a silvia.

[Censee]

agreed.... i think them advans look good on only rwd 2 door cars....i even saw a wrx with them and it just didnt look right to me...

[ShiZnitH]

I saw an FTO once with the Advans in same colour as the FTO (Championship white) PORN! :D

[greddy]

Isn't Champ white a Honda color that is used for the Type R's, IE integra, civic, NSX?

[alex0091]

it depends on ur style, if u like it go for it. But personally i dont like them

[Galant306m]

yeah like Yokohama racing wheels...
http://www.yokohamatire.jp/yrc/japan/wheel/brand/superad_sa3rv2/image/wheel_01.jpg

those are sex!

Oh and if you want to see how rims will look on your car just go to tirerack.com and try them out. they have some good styles and i bet the have some 3spoke rims that fit the 8g

[starh4x]

yeah those yokohamas are hot. but nah i cant afford anything decent or new.

Goku showed me these. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=194484989
thats about themax i would spend but im gonan do it I think. there sex.

[6G72gearhead]

Our cars wear 5-9 spokes real well, those 3 spoke's are hideous on anything, period.

[starh4x]

LOL! well looks my decisions been made for me.

[youngin3]

I have seen four or five different cars with those rims around here in North Texas. I don't like any of them. I saw them today actually on a '05 Chevy Impala. I think they are just dumb looking.

Spend your money on something nice that looks clean and compliments the car.

[platano]

if youre not gonna get REAL NICE 3-spokes, then don't get any at all dude. cheap rims are alreaDy look like ass, but cheap 3-spoke look even Shittier.

so $700 is your max? ok..

here, i did a search for some decent wheels for ur G on ebay and this is the best of what i came up with...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-Rim-Tire-Accord-Galant-Miata-Sentra-Mirage-S40-Wheel_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a543Q7c66Q3a 2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q 3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZite m310107662238QQitemZ310107662238QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ 5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories


WITH TIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your galant is 4-lug isn't it?

if not then the only prob with these is their 4x100 bolt pattern, but if u get adapters, you can solve this prob urself.

U dont have to get these wheels, but i did that so you see what kind of deals are actually out there.

GL..

[starh4x]

yeah theres some good deals on ebay but only for you lucky guys in the states. postage costs ALOT from overseas and also the currency conversion. those rims are well over 1000 NZ.

yeh mines 4 stud. 4x114.3

I'll post up here after i buy some. Thanks guys! you all saved me from 3 spokes

[platano]

don't they have a New Zealand version of ebay or something, lol

[starh4x]

yeah lol, www.trademe.co.nz theres alot of cars on there.

[Galant306m]

the only cars that looked good in my opinion with 3spoke rims, the rx7 and the dodge viper lol the stock dodge viper 19's where the shit back in 92.

[EATsleepJDM]

those 3 spoke's are hideous on anything, period.when you say those ,are you talking about the advans or the ones he showed everyone?

[RedGalant2k1]

have you seen these on ANY car? lol

actually, yes they are quite popular in the Mercedes crowd, and are traditionally know as "Blades". The original brand that made them escapes me right now though...

I always liked them, they are REALLY cool spinning, like no other wheel that is for sure!

[RedGalant2k1]

These are nice.

[ZigenScarface]

i kinda like them on the photoshop.. makes it look like an audi from the future

[starh4x]

LOL seriously i kind of liked it in the photoshop. seems like most peopel dont like it though.

[youngin3]

These are nice.

http://images.superbuytires.com/images/wheels/58479991606b1ca1be6a18dddae528da.jpg

I wonder how the hell those things balance out properly.....

[starh4x]

yeh ive never seen them on a car.

I dont know guys im leaning towards the 3 spokes because there different. could someone do a decent photo shop of them on my galant? if I got them I could afford to drop the Galant decent.

Heres (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=194863944) a link to the wheel pics.

Heres the car pics

the lighting in those pics is quite bad. theres black sideskirts on my Galant but they dont show in that photo unless you mess with contrast/brightness.

[starh4x]

nevermind. there 4x100 anyways. shit. stuff adaptors.

[Reelax]

actually, yes they are quite popular in the mercedes crowd, and are traditionally know as "blades". The original brand that made them escapes me right now though...

I always liked them, they are really cool spinning, like no other wheel that is for sure!

[STrYkeR]

I am not a big fan of those rims on cars. They would look good on something like an Escalade or Denali....
