3-spokes

Does anyone actually like 3-spoke rims? :eek7:http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/puke.gif

I don't know, it depends... do you have an example picture?

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

Commonly found on Fiesta's and the like:

I pity the fool who puts this monstrosity on his car:

It's wrong, it's just wrong :disappoin

Look even worse when they're on Benzes

I guess that explains that. It just doesent look right on any car. :2cents:

i dont think anyone's gonna own up to liking 3-spokes now :grinno:

I remember when I used to post in the 240sx forum, alot of the guys liked the Advan oni's...

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.

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 :disappoin

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...

I like those...
but 4 spokes just look stupid

Those are HOT

those bimmer 3 spokes arent bad.

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

i saw a decent pair of tri spokes on an old body eagle talon once...not that bad

it depends on the car. theres an erly model z up the street from my house that has some and they look good.

I really hate those swirly rounded 3 spoke rims they put on the mustangs a few years ago. Those were disgusting

:werd:

The other day I saw an old Mercedes Benz with those three spoke rims. They looked terrible.

i llike them on bikes and i have seen one or two cars that i have liked them on

the only three spokes i like are Advan Oni's, SA3's, A3A's, or Super Advan Generation II (AKA SA3-R).

all the rest are pretty much nasty.

I think that 4 spokes look a hell of a lot worse than 3. But 3 is still pretty bad. 5 spoke is the best, however. I guess to put them in order from good to bad it would go 5, 6, 7+, 3, 4

I feel the way about 3 spokes as i feel about cauliflower.....

I looks really pretty in the garden, but when it is on the plate, it is just plain ugly to the palate...

I would rather drive around with steel wheels coated with brake dust and curb scratches.....

Or, of course, a nice little set of TE37s...

http://www.tyresave.co.uk/alloypix/revo4spk.jpg are those CF or is that a grainy pic?...oh and i hate 3 spokers

looks like a grainy pic to me

3 spokes Advans look pretty bitchin' on this.

When it comes to rims, I'm a simple guy. I like my spokes straight, skinny and usually 5. IMO I would never drive a car with 3 spokes, unless it cost over 80 Gs. Then I wouldn't care. :biggrin:

Yeah drift cars like that usually look alright with them, but it's Civic hatches and Benzes and stuff with these really rounded chrome 3-spoke rims that are just nasty...

On the other hand, I like the Viper with the old original 3-spokers better than the late 90's 5-spokers...

heep~ your avatar scares me

Hahaha, haven't you seen the new Quiznos commercials? If not, check them out at www.quiznos.com (http://www.quiznos.com) :D

Yeah I've seen them. Thats why it scares me.

Haha, the spongmonkeys rule :D

the late 90s alloys on mustangs were 3 spoke and i dont think they are as bad as the plastic hubcaps hiding the steelies

http://www.tyresave.co.uk/alloypix/revo4spk.jpg are those CF or is that a grainy pic?...oh and i hate 3 spokers

Now those look terrible. :2cents:

Nobody's mentioned the old School Vipers, I thought they pulled off 3 spokes pretty good.

Actually I did. Look up ;)

yeah but maybe better than the steelies u got on now!

6 5 10 16 wire mesh
17+ 7
8

solid dish
11-15 9
steelies
4
3 2
...
99. the "Spyda" rims that one dumb guy posts every 2 months.

There are some wheels that are worse than tri-spoke and they would have to be the teddy bear wheel covers that I saw on a Honda Beat!

I can't really list how I like them in order, since some nice 3-spokers look better than nasty busy ugly 5-spokers, and it's always all dependant on what car they're mounted on anyways. For example, a classic Brit roadster usually looks best with nice wire wheels, but they'd look horrible on, say, a Skyline...

Oh I just remembered this. I was looking through this catalog and I saw these 5 spoke rims that where rounded and it was meant to look like a 5 petal flowers. They were even painted yellow.

They were so fruity.

If I find the pics at home I will show you a car that looks good with 3 spokes. ;)
