I don't want to taint the pool with what I think about it, yet.

10 holes look a lot better imo. This one is just.... wrong I guess. I think they would look good on my trailer though.

Not really my thing Noobz. But on the right car like a darker color might look good.

Edit: yup grand national/regal

Thanks guys. I like them and think they'd look great of a Fox but I can't get past the Buick GN thing either.

Too hard to unsee.

I posted them up without info to see if it was just because I [know] they are GN.

Those are definitely marketed to compete with budnik for GN style wheels

This is where I'm headed. 17x9 out back and 17x8 up front.

I'm probably wrong and this is a high $$$ 17" or larger wheel, but it reminds me of the parts-store aftermarket rims from the late '80s and early '90s that were made from heavy steel and chrome plated with black paint. Even if you didn't dive them through an MI winter, they still didn't age well and often rusted through the chrome.

Now I'm going to wait for you to post a pic of something that looks like a Boyd Tri-Fan wheel to test the crowd.

Nope... I'm a basic creature.

My other favorites are the Aluminum Magnum 500s (dished in the rear), and replica 17" versions of the Saleen SC wheel.

I like the modern take on the Mag500. That works!

Can you run a factory Ford center cap with those (like a tri-bar pony logo)? That would look really good.

With a full SN brake conversion, you can run whichever center caps you like.

As a guy that likes saleen parts, i struggle to like the SC replicas.
Maybe i've seen too many real saleen wheels over the years or maybe it's that i like sterns so much better.
Not in love with how all the replica SC wheels seem to be deep dish in the rear either.

Has anyone run the 18in 10 holes from LMR yet?

I'm the opposite. It's the OEM SCs that I don't care for. That's probably why I like the aftermarket versions. LoL ...and it's the deep dish that makes it for me.

I have seen the 17s on a Fox.

Fyi. LMR only has the 10-holes in 15" and 17".... no 18 inchers available.
