    Talking

    LOL....okay...after "sobering up" I agree about the montero sport tri-spoke....but how about the American Racing rims on the jeep...kinda tri-spoke??? Leaning very much towards those.

    Please be frank...I love honesty!

    If you ask me for honesty, you'll get brutal honesty. With that said...

    How about a set of 14" Gold anodized Dayton wire wheels?

    In short... ummm... no.

    Centerline/Forgeline has some decent wheels... so do Boyd Coddington, and Jesse James (of West Coast Choppers).

    If I had the bucks... I'd go for a set of Jaos.

    Yes... JAOS would definitely be my choice, if I wanted to spend a lot of hard-earned (right) cash.

    I think my dad had those on his '76 Ford Pinto stationwagon....lol.

    Actually what got me on the tri-spoke kick was that I've always liked the tri-spoke "sawblade" look of the early Dodge Viper O.E.M. wheels. With my beer goggles on...lol..I kind of liked the Montero Sport rims on one parked outside the establishment. The pic I used for the link really makes them look worse than they do on the vehicle. I thought that Viper looking wheels on a VX might increase the sports car look of it. I like Baxman's wheels and found the other style while checking out the entire line. Noticed that Eagle has the same look on a couple of styles but they tend to run in 15" sizes whereas American Racing has more sizes to choose from. Anyways...I'm gonna check out the brands you guys listed...catch ya later!

    I think it'd be really cool if one of you Flash monkeys make a VX specific tire calculator to put on this site.

    I'd do it if I could... just starting to learn this swiss cheese program. Powerful, but swiss cheese (full of bugs). Never really been a fan of Macromedia products... almost need 3 monitors just to get everything situated so you can see what you're doing easily.

    Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

    I thought the new Flash MX was a better, more solid product than the older Flash program?

    It probably is better from what I hear, but it's still damn quirky.

    What about some chrome 9-spoke Axiom wheels? I just got some 20s and don't need them. The tires are 235/65/17 GY Intergrity with 8k on them.

    17 x 7 ET38 hub centric (includes lugs and locks)



    E-mail me if you're interested.

    Are you looking for a specific dollar amount? I like the Axiom wheels, and the chrome ones especially.

    I'm hoping to get $750 for them. These aren't the '03 factory vapor chrome Axiom wheels, they're '02 ones custom plated through Wheel Exchange at a significant cost.

    E-mail me if you're interested.
