[GP2003GT]

i narrowed it down to 2...which ones you like?

1. R1 RACING GTR_10 Hyperblack Wheel Rim at WheelsNext.com


2. Tsw Montage Hypersilver Wheel Rim at WheelsNext.com

number 2 gets my vote, I like the bigger spokes personally

[GeddyLee]

#2 would be my choice as well.

But then again I am a little biased

My TSW Mondello's





One thing I will point out to you is this.....Be sure to use Gorilla Lug/Tuner bolts to secure your wheels. Anything else will fit to tight inside the cavity to reach the bolt and will nick the hell out of your rim. Trust me. I found out the hard way

[Bio248]

5 spokes. more than 5 is ugly.

[GP2003GT]

ok...lol i see which ones i am picking then...so the bolts that come with it will cause you to damage your rims?

Well I should kind of correct myself here. Its not the "bolts" but actually the nuts that go over the bolts inside the rim. The set that sold with my set of rims was to thick, and when placing the 4 way into the hole to undo the nuts, the 4 way outter part would rub continually against the paint inside the resessed holes that containt the lugs and bolts.

I had purchase these Gorillas Lugs that are thinner in diameter and the adaptor tool is thin as well so there is no hitting the inside of the rim. I will try and snap a few shots tomorrow to show ya what I am trying to say. Hopefully it will clear it up for ya

ok thanks

sounds like a spline drive type thing?

[GeddyLee]

Sorry for the delay in getting these photos done. I have had this stupid summer cold and its been kickin my arse!

Here are the shots, sorry for some of them being blurry, but camera's batteries decided to shoot craps when I was wrappin things up. But you will see what I am talking about in regards to the tight fit.

Here you can see the rub marks from the 4 way when put into the lug hole.





Here you can see how tight the 4 way sits against the lug hole. I had to use masking tape to try and help reduce any wear on the inside.





Now here is the picture of the Gorillia Lug adapter that fits over the Gorillia lugs attached to the bolts. You can plainly see the clearance difference between using the 4 way and the Gorillia adapter.




I hope those pictures helped to make it a little clearer for you? You can buy the Gorillia Lugs at most good rim shops or off the internet.

[boosting98]

the TSW's hands down!

[GP2003GT]

ok yeah wow i see now i meant to say lugs not bolts...lol...so how did you get these lugs and the key?

[TCO]

Number 2 for sure.

[GP2003GT]

lol yeah im pretty sure number 2 is the one

[GeddyLee]

You can get them from any local good tire/wheel dealer. Or off the internet. You just need to look for Gorillia Lugs. I cant remember the demisions off the top of my head, I am still at work till 6am and I can check later on Saturday for ya.

[Orbital431]

I would say #1 if it didn't have that chrome. #2 all the way.

[Warhellride]

TSW's.

[BADAZGTP]

#2 for sure.

[DesQ27]

I feel pointless...but I'm saying it anyways....Number 2.
More of a bold american car look, more impressive looking
