ding ding ding

[Francois Dillinger]

no, salad shooters are the 16's.

[goldn]

these are going to look amazing on your car.

[TheJakeR]

These are salad shooters (16"):



@ Francois: Beautiful color scheme! Any closeups of the wheel w/ centercaps on?

Oh and these were a craigslist $170 find. No link tho, it expired yesterday

Any idea what I should call these wheels? I said turbines in the OP since they look like they are spinning (but then again, so do sawblades)

[Francois Dillinger]

thank you. and one of them is on...just not the other
the lugs that came with my adapters were too tall to put them on, but they're all on now.

i'll try to get you a closeup pic today. mine aren't chrome like yours though, the faces are machined.

i've heard them called ZRI's, but i believe that name is actually for the ones with exposed lugs. and 170 is a damn good deal.

thx mucho!

Im calling them "88Z51's" from now on

[VRseXMike]

so whats the difference between that set and these??????

[RedAndBlackMini]

So did you ever end up getting these on? I have a set that I could either keep or well. I got a great deal on them from craigslist. If I sold them, I could get the next set of wheel that I desperately want... Or keep them for future use and save up for the wheels. These will be on a mini btw. I just don't want to go through buying adapters and all that for 4x100 to 5x120.65. Seems like a huge PITA.

I'd love to see some pictures of the wheels on the car!

[QuakerE30]

sorry guys but adapters are a bad idea in my eyes because I've seen wheels fly off due to the use of adapters. personally i will never use them, and I plan on getting a set of salad shooters myself. I love those wheels
