That explains so much... :D

Perhaps he wears panties that are 15 years old. Which would explain even more.

These were iconic late 80s-early 90s rims. Ford Mustang Turbine rims:

[QUOTE=Heel n Toe;4141449]When I saw the words "most famous" in the thread title, I thought of the dark spoked Americans, like on Dean's Skylark.

The reason I thought of them is because they were made famous on the silver screen. :D

Understated, non-blingy wheels will always be my favorite look on any car... I think wheels should compliment the lines of a car, not be the first thing one notices.

A good-looking wheel for sure. jtkkz cast a vote for Minilites in post #52... note the deeper offset on the rears...

I am not sure whether this is a small wheel turned by the fire and rod,
or a big wheel turned by the grace of god.


I have it on good authority however, that you can't hold on to it, nor can you let go.
