    Hot car but the rims just don't do it for me. They give it the "ricey" look.

    this can't be for real

    are you serious ?
    you bartered QV wheels and got those !?

    whomever has your original wheels is laughing at you

    can you get them back ? even if you pay double ?

    It seems to me that if you like how it looks, who cares what anyone else thinks.

    The only reason I would post my opinion is because I think you want our viewpoint? I don't mean to be offensive by any means, but those look terrible. Others are correct, if you like them don't sweat what I think, I just have to assume maybe your not sure yourself thats why you posted. Nice looking car otherwise.

    Wow you guys are brutal,

    Anyway, I like em, and there is another plan here so I will keep you all updated. There is a purpose for these.

    In the cars history, when new it ran a tour in western Europe and these are very similar to the wheels that were on the car then, as the history unveils you will see a very intersting 85 QV


    be kind, I know it will be tough but bare with me

    the bottom line is always, of course, whether or not YOU like 'em, but I don't care for them at all; they look way out of place, too ricerish and blingy. I most def agree with Brent, I'm an OEM five spoke guy.

    Try to get it outside where you'll have more freedom to shoot pics at angles to your liking. Post best shots.

    Look forward to seeing how you've connected the dots - I assume pics of touring configuration are at your disposal.

    I won't bare with you, but, I'll bear with you. ;)

    Wade, I think they look great!!
    When that fellow f-chatter gets the 16's on his car it will be a win/win
    for both of you.
    BTW, you've got mail.

    It's been posted before... the brakes on all 3X8's just aren't big enough to support wheels with that much visibility. I'm a big fan of the original 5-spoke wheels (except for the later '88-'89 which mine had).

    If he didnt care about others opinions, he wouldnt have posted a pic and lets face it, everyone cares what others think to a certian extent in this world like it or not, its a fact of life. As for the rims, I like factory wheels and selling the QV's rather than tucking them away was an error.
