They look great in shadow chrome (I'm looking to put wheels on a black car) but I didn't like the way the rivet pattern is arranged. Just call me picky but the "space" with two rivets looks a bit wide and a third rivet should have been put in so as to make it more proportional or balanced to the eye. Also, the valve stem comes out in a space between where the rivets are positioned which makes the wheel look even more "unfinished". They are a Starcorp wheel made in Taiwan if that interests you at all. That is probably why they are so cheap compared to Aussie, Jap or Euro wheels. About $250 each if I remember. Just looking at them it is hard to judge the quality. Just hope they are up to scratch compared to the more noted wheels about. Hey turbo6man, I reckon those wheels off your last one looked great! what type are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I broke one in the rollover and also a very slight buckle in another so the two remaining goodies are now gracing my trailer I haven't been able to match them but still looking ... If I have to get a different wheel I'm going to put something with a 9.5" on the rear and stay with the 8" (or maybe 8.5") on the front.I'm considering very closely these ...

Will there be any problems with fitting these under the BA guards?? Also they supply 235 wide rubber, which sound a bit narrow for a rim that wide?!?!?!

I will have to go 19's when I get new rims then and the wifes SS can get the tyres off my 18's when she upgrades from 17's.Dazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
