3-spokes

Does anyone actually like 3-spoke rims?

Re: Re: 3-spokes

3-spoke alloys are mainly for the Max Power brigade, i.e. people who have no taste and/or are inbred

Commonly found on Fiesta's and the like:

Re: 3-spokes

I've seen three spoke wheels used to good effect, but I wouldn't personally have any. Usually they look tacky, but sometimes, once in a blue moon, they can actually look neat.

Re: 3-spokes

Even 4 spokes dont look that nice.

I personally like 6 or 7 spokes. Some 5 spokes look nice too.

I guess some designsdo suit certain cars, though very rarely imo



Those suit Saabs, but then Saabs are kinda quirky and therefore manage to pull it off..

These, on the other hand:

No excuse

Re: 3-spokes

Yeah Saabs can just about always wear 3-spokers, as long as they're somewhat angular. It's the really rounded ones that really gross me out.

I've occasionally seen deep dish 3-spokers used on drift cars, and they often look alright, but they're one of the few exceptions...

Re: 3-spokes

3 spoke wheels are the worst IMO. I have yet to see a set that actually looks good on any car.
