Default What do you guys think of these wheels?



The price is hard to beat!

cool cheap wheels

I'm thinkin serious about a set of these in 17x9 and 18x9 in the polished version for my wagon. For that price I could move a little of my budget over to the suspension and brakes.

No Scott, it's Infinity Tattoos (bad joke for the Rochester locals )

Those are cool. They have a resemblance to the Pontiac Ralley wheel, so they'll look sweet on your wagon

Compared to the high end wheels, of course they don't look as good. But for the price, I like them much better than the garden variety TT2's. IMO, they look very nice on most muscle cars, especially Chevelles and Elkys.

I agree with Derek that they do resemble the Pontiac 5-spoke wheel which is why they caught my eye.

And, something about the Hotwheels logo is just...well.....cool. Afterall these are just big ol toys for grown boys!

I think they would look great on my wagon.

I think I like the Polished version better.

for a lack of a better term i used "cheap" .
I have seen them in person and i can tell you that TT2'S are much nicer. I know eveyone has them but they are nice for the money . These "hotwheels" look like bling , blingers. not smooth . wavy finish !



if you get them , post a pic. I am sure you will be happy with them !

The cool thing is that you can get the painted version and powdercoat the centers any color you want (gunmetal grey ).
