oatmilk Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I have an opportunity to get some custom billet rims made by US Wheel. They dont have any mesh styles so I have to choose from what they do have. I want something that seems race not bling so that automatically outs some of the listed styles. I like the Intense 5 in a 5X114.3 17x7 or 8 with a 4" B.S. to tuck on a non-flared 73 Z w/coilovers. Not a huge fan of 5 spokes on early Z's but i think the huge ols school lip will make me feel much better about them. I was also thinking of having the centers coated in Black (my preference), or gunmetal, or bronze or gold. It would be really cool if someone could photoshop the intense 5's and whatever else on a Z...hadman??? It would help me out big time. Heres the link: http://www.uswheel.com/bonspeed/set.htm thanks in advance, P.S. how do I change my info decription below my post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Intense 5? Don't like any of them really, sorry but the retro look is better IMHO, personal taste of course 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z2NV Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I like the Intense 6 and Malibu.....if I had a gun to my head...jk, a bit to 'shiny' for my tastes. 'Race' look that you seek is all about understated.....IMO To change your signature, click on "Profile" above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Roman Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 go with the malibu, it is the most understated and in my opinion un bling bling of the m all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vince Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Personally i'd go with the intense 5 with black centers, i love the dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 The Intense 5 is a knockoff of the later model IROC Camaro wheel in my opinion... Like Jim McNemar told me... Wheels are a personal choice... Go with what YOU like. Mike 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I'm going for #6. I think they would look good on a Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Intense 5 with the black center section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Intense 5 with the center powder coated a gun metal grey or black. Exactly the kind of wheel I would like for my '73 unflared with coilovers, but in a 9" wheel. Love that deep dish look 8) !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilRufusKay Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Royall 6. I don't know what "bling"means.... Like Mike said, go with what you like. There is a wide variety of tastes on this forum and a question posed such as this one never results with a clear cut winner... Do they make 12 or 13 inch widths?

oatmilk Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 I havent asked how wide they can go, but the feeling I got was that they could do just about any size. Our rep agency reps this company, so thats why I can get the great deal(under $300 each for any size I want in a 5 or 6 bolt pattern) And your right, there wont be a clear cut winner. Lesson learned for the next time I think about posting such a question. I almost feel like going wider and using ZG flares since I wll be getting them custom. I called Group A about custom Simmons which I like... way to expensive. CCW's,dont really care for the look. Kinesis, HRE too expensive as well. Anybody selling any Epsilons?

spdsk8r Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Personally, I would go with the Intense 5 with a bronze center, similar look to what I am running on my ZX. But, you are the person you must please, go with the wheel YOU like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ooooooh, love that ZX coupe, and the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I like the "Ramone" wheels myself. Like the other guys said though......"wheels are really a personal choice" However there's nothing wrong with asking for some help picking out wheels so you dont pick out some really wierd looking wheels that wont look "good" on a Z!
