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.

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?

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.. =D> LOLSmiliesafari wrote:...I'm not a big fan of the big wheels but those look great.
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

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. . .

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.
