Default What do you all think?

I just bought these today and think they look awesome.

Give your opinion.

I know the pics are a little dark but when I got home it was already dark.

When I can a will take better pics.

I also know I should have posted in the 850 section but it is not really technical related.

I really like. I've been thinking about doing that exact same thing. A nice set of new lug bolts would look good.

The Titans are 17" as well right? They're one of the better look rims. I like them better than the Volans.

Plus, I notice you have those cool new center caps.

Looking good Tech! I'd love to get some 17"s for our 850, but I just bought 18"s for my Typhoon because the deal was too good to pass up. Maybe I'll just paint our 850 wheels to change the look.

But, really, I like those wheels a lot on 850s.

Tech, watch ebay. I ended up getting a set of 20 for the youngsters 850 and only paid around $40 delivered. So the new blue center cap is the 2.5" that will fit the 850, S60 wheels etc.?

Very nice indeed.

It would also help the rotor cool faster.

And that valve cap......

Make sure you clean the valve stems often. I had a set of polished aluminum ones on my daughters Camry and over last winter when I couldn't clean the wheels as often the brake dust basically welded the caps onto the valve stem. The tire store ended up having to rip them out with pliers and put new ones in.

Thanks guys.
No not selling the rims.
No not taking the turbo rims off the white one.
Almost thinking about putting the spare set of turbo rims I have on the yellow one and cleaning up the R rims (Found alot of curb rash lately and not from me) an taking some time to save up some $$$ and have them power coated grey. This way they will look new.

Nice wheels Tech, I like the way they taper in so your disc's don't look tiny.

Tech, I canĀ“t see the pictures on your first post, and I tried with IE7, Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. Maybe the links are broken.

I really need Titans on my T5R. I have the Volans on it and they look ok, but I really like the look of Titans or Pegs. I have read that the Titans are really soft and bend very easy though, which is the reason I have not bought a set. I have 15" wheels on the 97 R right now. Definitely make for a smoother ride on 15" wheels.

Yes the smaller ones are a better ride but that doesn't matter to me how it rides.

If I took you for a ride in my Mustang after 2 blocks you would want to get out it rides so rough.
But thats what I get for it being lowered and having urethane bushings in it.

But handles like it is on rails.

Very nice wheels! I hate it when they balance the wheels by putting the tiny weights (sorry, I don't know the English word for them) on the outside of the rims. I understand there are some weights you can stick on the inside of the wheel that are not visible from the outside.
