Ive always been very fond of Lowenhart LD-1's



One of the few wheels that have lasting appeal to me. Maybe its the price that keeps me drooling??

I just figured it out myself

To add a graphic within your message, just encase the URL of the graphic image as shown in the following example (UBBCode™ is in red).


In the example above, the UBBCode™ automatically makes the graphic visible in your message. Note: the "http://" part of the URL is REQUIRED for the [img] code. Also note: some UBB forums may disable the [img] tag support to prevent objectionable images from being viewed.


So post the URL and leave the [img] and [/img] exactly like that and your picture will show up

Happy posting !

So you like my 5Zigen SR Copse ?

I wish someone made a 4-spoke wheel in the form of an X like the wheels on Professor Xaviers wheel chair from X-Men.

That would be sooooo pimp.

BLING BLING BLING

Wish I had a video capture card so I could post pics of them. Gonna have to pic up my old one from my parents tomorrow.

Soopa, I think that's the wrong MOMO Sport rim. I think we fit the one with the flush lug holes. (And I think it looks better than that lower offset one you posted...plus I like the white-ish clearcoat better than the gold.)

There's so many to choose from...

Check my previous posts here:

If I had to choose, I'd probably go with these:

Naa... these are the wheels that spin:



Davin Wheels - Revolutions.

Their cheeze. And crazy $$$... like 8k a set.

Those Lowenhart BR-5's look soooooooooo PHAT on a car. Thats the first pic of them I've seen on something. SOOO HOT. I'm dying to see them on something in chrome.

I like the 1 piece Racing Hart versions more for the CL, which aren't deep dish, b/c I think they go more with the luxury look of the car. The deep dish versions look better on sportier cars, like Supras.

Unfortunately you cant have a true deep dish wheel with a CL.

If your into BIG wheels thats not really a bad thing since a deep dish wheel looks much smaller then a spoke to lip style wheel.

Why do you think our stock 17's look soo big? The spokes go all the way to the tire.
