these were from the 2005 pacer catalog,they say they discontinued them,but if I search enough I should be able to find a set being they were from 2005. i tried to order a set new in 2005 but with no luck. now I'm determined to find them. I really love the old school look. as far as i know no one else makes a set of these in 4x100 front wheel drive offset,at least not with the chrome and center cap. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b205/moultriemanicmechanic/PACER-84C.jpg?t=1168233904

well I saw a set like this on another simalar japanese car of this area,and they actually looked pretty good. they need the BF good rich radial TA tires with the white letters to look proper. this was a popular style back in the day. if they were flat black they would look identical to factory steelies with a center cap,think factory wheels with a little chrome.

i dunno, i'm for the old school look also. very vintage looking. i'm sure they look way better with tires on them.

I was thinking, there is not a stick of chrome on these cars, but there is not on a bug usually, not with the california look, and chrome wheels look good on those. I think the trick is the paint color too, that gives a chroma light appeal to the eye, and chrome wheels set it off great.

They look like stock steelies dipped in chrome with a center cap over the lug nuts.

I say look for lighter simple wheels lost. Something along the lines ofa five star wheel. The gsr blades look great on a hatch.

:werd: I was going to say the same. YOu could just find a set of 02 civic steelies and have them polished. IMO that would be cheaper and would fit the car a little better.

these are actually lighter then the stock teg wheels that are on here,when the carb project is done I should pick up quite a bit of extra torque anyway so it won't be as noticeable. still might look at the rewinds too,
