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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
