NOOO. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF....

...well, actually, sure, that's a reasonable choice and I approve! Good job! :nice:

They look fine but I would choose one of the others. Why?? For me, it's very simple. CLEANING. It takes me so much longer to clean intricate rims compared to the easy 5 spoke design.

nice wheels . . . they look more silver than charcoal in the picture, I hope they match the louvers a little better in real life

I wasn't shooting to match the louvers....lol

:agree: Although choice #3 looks good. I would've went with choice #2 for the same reason, much less time consuming to clean and look just as good IMHO.

Regarding cleaning... Well, I won't mention brands, but it sure seems like maybe possibly one could coat the wheels after a very good cleaning had been done with some ceramic coating and the dirt just falls off with a sneeze or something afterwards...

:dunno: IDK, honestly, I just seem to be seein' that a lot on them mePipes. I'm sure it's serpent lube. :unsure:

I had the 14 wheels on for a couple days and actually liked them, and the couple times I went thru the car wash, they are easy to clean I gotta admit. There is some minor curb rash on 2 of them, and numerous chips in the paint, so my plan was to get them fixed and resprayed, then get tires for on them as a backup set. And if I get tired of cleaning the other ones, might be a good enough reason for a break also. Next brake job will be to ceramic pads to cut down on the dust. The factory bullitts are in great shape, but I just don't have the room to store everything, as I also have a set of wheels for my Tacoma with all terrains on them. If you hear of anyone needing/wanting a great set of factory bullitts in silver 17x8, tell them to contact me. I like the way you think houtex.

I remember my '89 GT had the 16 spoke rims it used to take me just as long to clean them as the rest of the car. I vowed to NEVER have rims like that again. :yup:
