Sorry, I know I'm painful but wanna get it right

I c. Is there a reason why racing wheels tend to have very thin spokes?

if you look closely, even though the spokes are thin, they are still quite deep. as i said that is to resist the second moment of area forces created from cornering. the spokes dont have to be so "wide" as such because there's so many of them; its all in the interest of increasing strength while also producing the lightest wheels possible.

What is the obsession with all the wheels that look like this? They're way too common and don't even look any good.

Simmons are the bomb!!!!!

[MACCAA]

They are Simmons Altas.Actually,they look like the set I had made for my STI around 5 or so years ago.Simmons didn't have any specs for the 2002 STI,so they used my car as the guinea pig.
I sold them with R compounds to someone down the South Coast.
Nice wheels...

What you say tosspot?! don't look good?!

I think black with a red strips around on a black polo looks the best

Yours aren't the same... Yours do look good. The spokes are longer so the wheels look classier.

class is good, but if i had a 131kw atw gti, i'd want it to look cruel, e.g. candy white with these: http://www.1010tires.com/images/whee...E_lg_super.jpg or these: http://www.1010tires.com/images/whee...Y_lg_super.jpg.

Hey Buller, I'd agree on the black, would look awesome. Tempe yres do the Lenso version of these...don;t know how true to the original Tenzos they are?

Might investigae further with 1010.

Cheers

i looked at their website but couldnt find them.

they are damn nice though- i reckon the dark bronze ones would go good with the light metallic blue of my tdi.

that being said, however, im thinking of getting 16 inch versions of the steel wheels that lie under the hubcaps- my hubcaps are ripped to shreds because of wheel chains, and at the end of the day if i can put better rubber on the car, im happy with that.
