    I agree as I actually like my stock wheels best but The two options I posted are less expensive and genuine wheels. I am sure those Superformance wheels are good quality but I prefer genuine options.

    The more I look at that picture, the more I agree. However the Superperformance wheels after shipping are close enough in price to buying new metric tires. That being the case, I'd rather stay stock. I'm only considering the wheels to solve the tire issue.

    Excellent. Finally a picture of a QV with T wheels. Looks "correct" to me. Can you share anymore pictures with those wheels please?

    I almost bought a black T last year off Ebay with those wheels and I agree they look fantastic on a T. I don't think they look right on QV's though. I'm the weird guy who decided he liked QV's better than T's. I like the flared fenders, larger intake grills and especially the black bumpers. Of course I strongly prefer the seats and dash and especially the center tunnel/console of the T's but throw in no motor out for a major and the choice was easy.

    I really like that my car looks old. The metric tires and Metric wheels look good to me. I just can't stand spending 500 per tire for metric tires. The Superperformance wheels are basically equal to getting new metric tires so why not just do that? The best bet for me is T wheels. No one with a T wants theres because the 348 wheels and 360 wheels look great on the T. One mans garbage is another mans gold as they say.

    My 87 3.2 came from the factory with what you are calling t wheels. I think 87 was the split year where they could come with either. I've also heard them called an ABS wheel as I think that design was required for ABS. ABS was an option in 87 IIRC.

    Hi Tijn,

    Bonhams needs to reverse the direction that those 348 wheels are running. :):)

    Funny, how it happens all the time.

    Cheers, Hank

    Does anyone know if the ABS 16" wheels fit on a QV with OEM length (85) lug bolts?
