Best, cheap 5 spoke wheels?
Best, cheap 5 spoke wheels?
I've been looking at getting some wheels and was looking for some response about cheap 5 spokes. I've generally been looking for think 5 spoke 18's. If you've had any experience with these please share, I'd realllllllly be interested to learn how much they weigh. I've been looking primarily at ...
Eagle Alloys 077 Problem with these are that theyre only 18x8" .. not that I'm really putting down monster power..
Saleen Replicas (I know .. mustang... but these wheels look pretty good in my opinion..) 18x9's so a little wider. How about black wheels on a green car?
C5 Replicas 18x9.5 and 18x10.5, a pretty common wheel it seems for f-body's. I like the look, are there other center caps available so it doesn't reak of vette? ((not that vette is a bad thing...))
Like I said, if you've had experience with these wheels or other 5 spoke wheels (or wheels that you would think I would like judging by these..) please share. It would be great to figure out how much they weigh, I've got a stock 95 green TA m6. I don't really wanna be getting wheels that are like 30lbs cuz of the difference in mass when its rotating..

Re: Best, cheap 5 spoke wheels?
The 077's are quite popular and quite cheap. I have them - mainly because I got them for $400 with tires and they 18". The Saleen replicas are too close to them for me.
The C5 replicas are nice - and are also very popular...but are usually more expensive. But, you can get them in a better width range than the 077's.
So, I would narrow it down to those 2 - then balance it between budget and width. I like the look of the 077 on an F-Body - if the width thing doesn't bother you. With some good tires - it isn't that much of a problem.
