Best looking Stock 1st Gen Rim

me and jeremy had a disagreement on which 1st gen rim looks better,

I think the 4 star
he thinks the waffle

I know its whatever you like,
but I want to see what everybody likes best

Sorry SE is not an option

for those that don' know what the waffles look like go here http://webpages.charter.net/patryn/79rx7.htm.

i didn't realize this touched you so much man. but alas your getting the weds so your x-men rims won't even be a debate.

the LE rim is by far the best looking...

The "+" are the next best looking, but they are only 13"

The GSL-SE rims look 3rd best, but they're 14"

The waffles look least well, and aren't they really narrow?

Hey, those are just my opinions... Feel free to voice your own.

Ok, I'd say the waffles look better, but who the hell wants stock wheels anyways?

i would just rather see my 4 stars go to good use after spending all that time cleaning them up,

plus the two good tires are already on the rear.

83 limited wheels by far. 14 in and look cool, the best of both worlds. Stock wheels as a rule are kinda dumb anyway 15x7 Panasports blow all away IMO

I've got both the waffle wheels and the 'X' wheels. Personally, I like the 'X' wheels better than MY waffle wheels, but those wheels that peejay is talking about are way cool.

Here is the pic he sent me. Unfortunatly it's black and white so the wheels look just like any other SA wheel does. Nice pic though. Later

not sure if this is exactly the same one but very similar in shape.

the owner had the bodykit put on back in the 80's so these might have changed a touch.
