    Can anybody photoshop holes in the flats of a set of stock 348 wheels for me? I'm wondering how it would look to lighten the wheel. I'm also wondering how many will put up a post questioning my sanity for thinking about doing so.

    Um, hate to say it but............why?

    :p

    Can't see it being easy on the eye, but maybe effective in weight reduction.

    You mean something like this Plugz? :D:D

    I am not too sure about how safe it would be removing all the metal from those wheels. :eek::eek:

    NOT very safe I can imagine brother! Be careful out there man. ;);)

    It looks like 12GA slugs to me. A sawed off shotgun fits rather well behind the seat of the 355:).

    Much as I hate to admit it, I kinda like the look...considering all the 348 wheels available, I may try it. Looks like part of a blowdryer. I'll let you know if one breaks and I die....

    Plugzit - why not 360 wheels? They are amazingly light, at least compared to the 348 rims. And despite what some folks say, the tires fit nicely and put a lot more rubber on the road.

    Hey plugzit,

    When you show up at VCR with your new "holy wheels", I promise to say nothing :)

    And please don't put them back on your car backwards :)

    Cheers, Hank
