That is true. To be different you cant skimp on cost. So are you getting some Daytons or some knock offs?

gotta be careful when using the tern "knock offs" when talking about wire wheels... Not sure if you've ever had one, but old jags and MGs that came with "knock off" wire rims was a good thing. you see, in terms of wire rims, "knock off" refers to how the wheel is secured to the vehicle, knock offs use a bit "spinner" vice lugs to hold on the wheel... basically imagine a threaded hub... that's it, that's all that holds em on.... they come with a special hammer to put them on and off.... Daytons are pretty nice, but what I would get if I got wire rims is the "spinners" I think that the spinners are usually dorky, but with wires.... :shock: definitely get's my attention

I see. LOL thats what our 89 Buick came with then. A knock of hub cap. :shock:. I was just using the term as some no name brand that is cheap. Also didnt know they had spinner wires, that would be insane :roll:

I would put some daytons if oyu want wires. 13x7 with white walls if you XB is blk. Guys tell me my car look like a car out of dick tracy movies and looks gangster. So Wires would blow some minds.

where can you get daytons for aFWD car. I was talking to abody shop in frederick MD and they said that no wheel company makes 18 inch fwd wire wheels. if you know where i can find them please pm me. but other wise i dont think they are made like that

they might be custom
