Can anybody play around with photoshop and see what 5-spoke alloys look like on a T350 and post the pics up?

I like the ones that are on the Speed 12 video clip on you tube getting delivered off a lorry.

Car fitted with silver 5 spokes on as requested, although they are 19"






Hope this helps, having said that, just put my black spiders back on for a change but reckn these look better IMHO.

Very nice. Black alloys would also suit the car as well. What tyre sizes have you got on those 19" rims and have you had any clearance issues ?

Nice, although I prefer the thicker type 5 spoke. Similar to the oz racing alloys on the mk1 ficus rs.

19" Rims run 235/35 at front and 265/30 at the back. No clearance problems after action taken further on and the slight camber change required at the back, downside is the springs need winding up tight to stop the rears rubbing with 2 in the car / fast twisty road driving. Also damping needed increasing to help the rate of dive at the front, had Nitron fit extra 20mm bumpstops to the internal rods when they last went for service which helped. The 30 profile at the back means no give at all in the shoulder.

Putting the spiders back allows me to have a comfier ride (wound everything back 10mm at least and went back a couple of clicks on the damping as I run Nitrons) now some actual movement in the springs & damping, very welcome give the state of the roads.

Spiders would be the only option for a track day, the 19's are a looks thing, filling the arches better all round and showing those dustbin lids brakes off well. Oh the price of vanity!
