Opinion please. . .
Re: Opinion please. . .
I liked the tri-spoke, but it would have to be on an 80 something van, since that is when they were cool. Kind of like Crager SS wheels: Cool on older rides; lame on newer stuff.
I like lots of sidewall, and plan to run a LT235/85R16 if I ever get my other van together with the lift. Yes, LT235/85R16. Tall and skinny, unlike me.

Re: Opinion please. . .
Sorry dude, I didn`t like your first choice either, and I don`t care for your new choice also.... Jus` being brutally honest.
I feel that most rims with a five spoke configuration look good on StroFaris.
Chrome Iroc`s is my sexy wheel of choice.

Re: Opinion please. . .
That van looks awesome.
I'm not a big fan of the big wheels but those look great. Don't pay any attention to Darren. He's just jealous because his van is still running around in it's underwear.

I like the MUCH better than the other wheels/tires you had on there. These fill the wells nicely. How about a straight on side shot? ![cheers! :cheers:](./images/smilies/smile_cheers.gif)

Re: Opinion please. . .
they do look very good. much more filled looking. although, I'm not a van of the rubber band low pro tires either, you make up for it with the deep lip on those rims..Smiliesafari wrote:...I'm not a big fan of the big wheels but those look great.
![Applause =D>](./images/smilies/eusa_clap.gif)
these ones look like they were bought for that van with that lowered stance. the other ones looked like you got a set of used ones with the wrong tire size on them just coz they were a deal and the bolt pattern worked

Re: Opinion please. . .
Well, had some problems with the chrome finish on those rims. Had to sell them (warranty sucks &*^%$@#@#) It's back on the old 17's/18's combo; only taller tires(245-45-18) in the back now. I'm planning on getting 245/45's all around and try to go with 18's/20's later on. . .

Re: Opinion please. . .
That's funny,So many negatives in regards to the Tri Spoke.
If you have ever seen tri spokes on Astrofari's they look great (17/18").
They are one of the better looking rims for astrofari's when rotating IMO.
