THansenite 03-07-2006, 07:24 PM If you are going for a "blingtastic" look, I would go with the Tourings. If you are going for a clean look, I say Gammas.
RTon20s 03-07-2006, 08:11 PM I can't say that I like any one of those particular wheels. I'm not a big chrome fan, and even less of a fake rivet fan. That being said, of the options you provided I would probably go with the Gamma.
fachiro1 03-07-2006, 08:47 PM the top ones are cool........very WORK vsxx-like............one of the best meshy designs.
those would be my choice
chadfo 03-07-2006, 08:48 PM Gamma: Deeper lips always look better to me.
i like the lip of the bottom and the design of the top.
I don't however like when people bring up the fake rivets thing. Who cares. It's a look. Some people aren't willing and sometimes cannot pay for REAL rivets.
Once a wheel is on my ride it will be staying a one-piece, so why does it matter if it's really a three piece?
I may very well be missing the reasoning to a three-piece wheel, but a single molded wheel makes more sense to me.
arizonaturbo 03-08-2006, 05:19 AM The Gammas look pretty cool!
chokeebb21 03-08-2006, 07:27 AM I like the gammas... Looks good...
Rigley 03-08-2006, 08:39 AM They all look good, but I'm going to be different and say get the
trigger. There is less boxes with that design.
Tomas 03-08-2006, 09:19 AM Gamma - nice flat surfaces rather than curls or swoops - just like the box... :)
dugzilla 03-08-2006, 11:24 AM go for the trigger or gamma, don't really care for the top one.
It's your ride, so be happy with what you pick.
kyxbgal21 03-08-2006, 12:58 PM I have to agree with the other posters I like the gamma also.
FModFTD 03-08-2006, 02:45 PM I like the Touring in black--should look good with TCM
Travee05 03-08-2006, 03:29 PM thanks for all your comments guys!!! i reallly apreciate it. I was leaning towards gamma from the start. Just to let you know all these rims are high offset meaning 40+. Gotta post with sizes and stuff if i decide to see if they will fit. Thanks a billion!

I brought up the rivets, and I don't regret it. And yes it is a style thing. And in my opinion it is very tacky. Not to knock this guys choice of wheel, but I think fake rivets on a wheel look like crap. Always have, always will.
And for the most part, I don't even like the look of a real three piece wheel. My background in the automotive scene is hot rods, muscle cars and trucks. Everything in those scenes (when done right) is about cleanliness. The rivets in a three piece wheel take away from that.
To me fake rivets are the same thing as knock off "designer" clothing. For the most part, I don't like designer stuff to begin with. And it only makes it worse when it is the low quality fake crap made overseas and sold at the local swap meet.

M-Flo 03-08-2006, 09:30 PM Fyi, those deep dish lips depend on the size of the rim and lug configuration, so becareful when ordering online~ I've seen many people flip becuase they didn't get the exact same rim as in the pic....
RTon20s 03-08-2006, 10:56 PM More specifically the lip depends on a combination of the width of the wheel, the offset and the shape of the wheel center. It has absolutely nothing to do with the lug pattern of the wheel except that some manufacturers only offer specific offsets in some lug patterns.
Travee05 03-09-2006, 02:03 PM hah, yeah the pic posted is a 20 inch rim with an +84 offset ^^ so i don't think that would quiet fit..
hnefrdo 03-13-2006, 07:33 AM Touring. Classic. Beautiful.
HoTBoX009 03-17-2006, 09:10 AM The Trigger is nice if you get it with deep dish lip. yumm
slickyricky102 04-15-2006, 04:50 PM i like the second set of wheels, how much are they?
wanna_bB 05-01-2006, 02:42 AM I like the Touring design...
...but the Gamma lip.

And it only makes it worse when it is the low quality fake crap made overseas and sold at the local swap meet. Exactly my point! Just like ALOT of people on this site debadging their xBs and putting bB emblems on them, a complete knock off of the REAL THING... :tap:
