The price is hard to beat!

cool cheap wheels (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/hotsix.c.ang.jpg)

I'm thinkin serious about a set of these in 17x9 and 18x9 in the polished version for my wagon. For that price I could move a little of my budget over to the suspension and brakes.

Is that the HotWheels logo in the center cap?

No Scott, it's Infinity Tattoos ;) (bad joke for the Rochester locals :_paranoid )

Those are cool. :thumbsup: They have a resemblance to the Pontiac Ralley wheel, so they'll look sweet on your wagon :cool:

Compared to the high end wheels, of course they don't look as good. But for the price, I like them much better than the garden variety TT2's. IMO, they look very nice on most muscle cars, especially Chevelles and Elkys. :thumbsup:

Uhhh, they are cheap :D

I agree with Derek that they do resemble the Pontiac 5-spoke wheel which is why they caught my eye.

And, something about the Hotwheels logo is just...well.....cool. Afterall these are just big ol toys for grown boys!

I think they would look great on my wagon.

I think I like the Polished version better.

for a lack of a better term i used "cheap" .
I have seen them in person and i can tell you that TT2'S are much nicer. I know eveyone has them but they are nice for the money . These "hotwheels" look like bling , blingers. not smooth . wavy finish !



if you get them , post a pic. I am sure you will be happy with them !

The cool thing is that you can get the painted version and powdercoat the centers any color you want (gunmetal grey :unibrow: ).

What did I miss?

Datsbad,

No problem dude, I wasn't bitchin bout your answer, I know they are cheap wheels, thats why I put the smiley at the end. I understand its hard to convey ones mood while typing even with the smileys, but, no hard feelings.

I'm on a low budget for this ride. I have 3 kids - 6, 5, and 4 months and am the only one working at the moment, so every little bit helps.

I have a set of concourse restored Pontiac Ralleys that I was gonna use on the wagon until I decided to do a poor mans Pro-Touring build on it. I think I could sale the Ralleys and break pretty even on a set of these Hot Wheels, which, even though they may look cheap, will still look better than the Ralleys.

I definatly didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with this board.

I have customer that took off his TT2s and put these on. He has young boys (maybe 4 and 6?), so I guess I understand, but if it were me, I would put the TT2s back on!

They look good. One more thing to not worry about your car when your out actually driving it! :lol: Wheels always look better on the street than parked in a garage. Theres not any wheel out there that *look* $3500 better to justify the price.
