Blah Three spoke is just one ugly wheel. I haven't seen one car that looks good with these yet.

Tell us how you really feel

3 spoke aren't my style either (I'm running Fikse 5 spoke) but they look alright with the proper body kit. Now, three spoke with a stock body.....ick.

Key word being "looking". He's effectively blocked the majority of the air trying to get into the oil coolers which is a very dumb idea. I also give any skirt or rear bumper cover that leaves a seam along the body sides a big thumbs down. And another big thumbs down as I too also believe 3 spokes belong on a motorcycle And the headlights have some awful gaps and alignment issues with the front nose, the passenger side especially

Other than all that, I like it!

Terminator Wings?

That's either a Racing Beat Type II or Mazdaspeed (same wing):



It's basically the same as the '99 Spec wing except for the bottom of the wing goes all the way across from one side to the other.

Terminator wings bow in more and raise up more on the base in the center. That's not a terminator wing.

I don't doubt that, but it IS the part that meets my eye that I don't care for.

That Supra looks like an old reel to reel tape player.

IMHO

I personally don't dig 3-spokes either...w/ the exception for the Advans. I'd trade my MS-01's for those if I had the chance to.

hey nick- that's dyske's old car? i never saw it, i met him the day he got his skyline. damn fast from what i heard (fd). very rarely do i see a car that looks decent with the 3-spoke. and they're above.
