first off i'd really like to complent all of ya'll for the love and respect that you give to one another.... makes a person feel welcomed, but anyways... i have a 2002 dark grey galant that i was think of putting some 18" 140-150 spoked rims on them.... i want a classyful gangsta ride... im not into the race car look, but i do like some power.... but what do ya'll think of the rims?


-thanks

Do you happen to have a pic of the rims? I haven't seen any Galants with that kind of rim if yuo get them you'll be the only one with them. Personally I would pass on those type of spoke rims but thats just me.

Thats like, alot of freakin spokes.... :roll:

I like big wire wheels. Make sure you get the FWD ones though as reverse ones would look gay as hell. A few good brands are Roadster lip lace 150 spoke FWD, Player Platinums 150 spoke FWD, L.A. Wire 150 spoke FWD and if you can afford them the Dayton Eurowires. Although the Daytons will run you about $600 a rim.

I think you could pull it off. And it would look clean... but I don't know much about them (ie the FWD RWD thing) so be sure that your going to go ok with that.

GL bro!

[jazzloc]

thanks for the input.... and thats why im fixed on getting the spoked rims, cuz no one has them... and im pretty sure they should look straight... thanks again....

[HaterzEraser]

It will look clean.
There is some guy in my city who has a '00 Galant on gold center 18" daytons.
I used to a be a "lowrider" guy but I bent to many rimz and popped to many spokes.

[Airstud8]

the spokes will look tight! i think 140 spokes is to much though. i was actually thinkin about puttin the spokes on my car too.

[jazzloc]

how do the spokes get bent? and would it be a good idea to get those airbag things?

here a quick photochop of a g-ride on 144 spoke daytons

Mmmm....looks pretty straight... but is there a goldish color to the spokes?

[Shylynn]

damn man you don't understand :shock:

I have 72-spoke wires sitting in my garage that i had on my S-10 and those were a BITCH to keep clean and thats HALF the spokes!!!

I can't imagine what 144 spokes would be like to clean OMG :shock:

Here is a picture i photoshopped like 6 months back with 100+ spoke FWD wires:
