Default 17" snowflakes

What do you guys think of the 17" snowflakes on e-bay.I am kinda an oldschool guy and think they look pretty cool, just not wide enough. Item #310110816384

They're talking about the old school TA snowflakes. Companies are making them in a 17" now since Year One released the Bandit TA.

i think those on a lowered NBM, or black T/A, and 11s in the rear would look sick as hell.

I think the gold rims could look nice on a car painted gold or that that had gold pin striping but I don't think it would look nice the majority of the time. Unfortunately looking at the other colors available in the same patern for the wheels I think gold is the best option for the rim it's just limited on what car could pull it off.

Take it easy

i know there is some pics from Year One with a red 4th gen formula that has them, and its on the back of about every issue if GMHTP from last year. IF i had 700 bones for a set, (i would get silver) i would sport em on my 2000 NBM WS6. But i dont, so i wont

looks like there are two versions out there now,,,the 500.00 ones, and some for 180.00...this like should show u a pic. (scroll down a bit)

I believe those are the billet ones. I had those Borbets on a 96 Cobra in 97 or 98.
