Five spoke design?

fourdegrees · 10-18-2007, 09:04 PM

Looking for a quality five spoke wheel, preferably in 17" but I'm not averse to 18". It must weight less than the stock 2005 wheels. Any suggestions? I've seen the Prodrives, but they might be a little pricey.

Almost anything that's lighter than stock BBS wheels will be pricey.

You'd love the SSR GT2...lightweight, 5spoke, "reasonably" priced. Only problem is they don't make them anymore.

I have 18" prodrive GC-05fs and I love them. 18" and only 17lbs...not to mention dead sexy. Got them used with a fresh set of tires for 2200 shipped.

Wheels are one thing you should constantly look to try and find a good used set as opposed to buying new.

I love the look of the Slipstreams, but they weigh just as much as the stock 05 wheels. Are they a replica of a lighter wheel?

I like the 57fs based on their specs, but I prefer the look of a thicker spoke.
