Pic request: Starion/Conquest wheels
 
Saw a pic of an FC with Starion wheels. Anyone have a few shots and specs?

Any more pics? I'm looking to run a set but 9's in the back and 7's in the front.

They look pretty slick. Have a nice 80's feel to them.

Saavedro88 12-22-11 06:33 AM

Only picture I have of my car with these wheels on it right now. I'll snap a couple with my cell later.

These are the SHP's, so they're the 16x8 in the front, 16x9 in the rear. Don't remember the offsets right now... I also need to fix my rear wheel gap...

A buddy of mine has them on his supra. They really are great looking wheels.

jerd_hambone 12-22-11 11:51 AM

Yes they are. I have been debating Crown Vics, then I saw these. These just hit me as possibly one of THE best looking wheels.

Saavedro88 12-22-11 12:06 PM

Honestly, I LOVE these wheels, I think they're the shit. But a lot of people will give you a lot of shit for them. Just FYI.

jerd_hambone 12-22-11 12:14 PM

Why would they do a thing like that?

I can handle it. My car will possibly be the most hated car here when it's done haha.

jerd_hambone 12-22-11 12:16 PM

OH, and what's the weight on these. They look to be a bit heavy.

FC_EDDIE 12-22-11 03:59 PM

They are kinda heavy...I would say about 17lbs without tires.


ps: I have a set with tires I'm selling for $300 :egrin:

I do too, but they're 16x8's all the way around.

They aren't light, but they're no worse than any 17 or 18 inch wheels.

Only one more picture, was overcast, no other ones looked good.

This FC was for sale but it had Starion wheels.

Guys, if I had the funds, I'd get them for sure. If you were interested in some sort of trades, I'd be up for it. Sadly wheels are the last thing on my list.

Now that I've seen them on an FC, I'm dying for a set haha

tire size? and they look killer on fc's

Spirit Rx-7 12-22-11 09:40 PM

i love em, but the only way to get them to fit is with stretched tires, or flares, or a pull

I'm using the stretched tire/copious amounts of camber method.

I've got 215 and 195 /40R16's on mine. Decently stretched.

jerd_hambone 12-22-11 10:16 PM

I'd probably go with flares. I'm not a stretched/mad camber kind of guy

Saavedro88 12-22-11 10:28 PM

With the 8's and 9's, you'll have to have some pretty intense flares. I've HEARD that the 7's on the front won't clear the calipers? I have 2 inch spacers on the front of mine anyways, so I don't have any problems.

jerd_hambone 12-22-11 10:51 PM

I'm not going to be slammed or anythin, I've noticed all you guys seem pretty low. And I'd run spacers if I had to.

GuiltySoul 12-23-11 12:32 PM

Saavedro88, do u have a rear camber link?

Just the stock one. Rear camber is like 3.2 degrees or something crazy like that. Gives me the tuck I need for the rear.

FirstRotaryExp 12-24-11 04:20 PM

To confirm, the 7's will NOT clear the calipers up front, you WILL need a spacer (and possibly modding the caliper face) to clear it proper. Used to own a set on a Conquest, they werent light, but they were nice to look at, even better polished up.

Id like to see that black one a little lower, and it would look awesome

I wish you could run real tires on these

Which one, Mine? Yeah, I need to work on that. Right now my exhaust already drags, so I need to figure out what to do about that...
