MainstreaM Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Anybody know. Especially details like size and offset. Brand would be a starting point. http://www.26liter.us/dugallery/pictures/1starionyellow.jpg thanks Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 They are Simmons. I almost bought those a while ago. That car is on their site as well. Here is the link. http://www.simmonswheel.com.au/technical.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 If I remember correctly, the fronts are 17's, not sure of their width, and the rears are 18x10's. They are Simmons OM-Series. They are at or above $500 per wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJpowerHaus Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Does anyone else not like the trim painted to match the rest? It just makes me assume there was a lazy masker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 yeah I don't like the plate frame area painted at all, but the rear window trim painted is always nice in my book. don't like the supra wing either. tuff wheels though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Strange they would paint everything else yellow, but leave the door handles still black. But still a nice car. I am with you Chip, ditch the Supra wing and it would be sweet! Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redquest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 I,ve been looking for these anyone know where I can find them? Any web site withe them ??? ??? ??? Thanks jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Hey Jerry, I think you can get those from here: http://www.groupawheels.com I am going to want to get some big wheels pretty soon also but i am not about to caugh up $3000 for them and then worry about them being stolen. here is what i am thinking of doing. let me know what you think. the mustang bolt pattern is the same as the starions and they have tons of wheels available to them. the only problem is the offset and its not that much off. for the back, it needs a 1" spacer and the front is pretty much ok. if you want to make it perfect, it needs a 1/4" spacer in the front. cobra R replica 17x9 and 17x10.5 are just $650 and will fit perfectly when using coilovers and the spacers just mentioned. or saleen style 18x9 and 18x10 for $750 which need 1" spacers in the front and the back. http://www.wheelreplicas.com/ the only thing remaining for me to do is to find out how much these babies weigh. the spacers are less then $200 and look something like this: http://www.motorsport-tech.com/Pages/Intro.html here are a couple of other wheels options. these guys make custom offsets: http://www.wheelsforless.com/search_result...duct_id=BSGT157 i like these also. they seem like they should fit. i am trying get a hold of someone there to verify the offset of their Brock B2: http://www.amimotorsports.com/wheels.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 here is a few more pics of the simmons starion to drool over. http://home.earthlink.net/~artinist/images/simmons/simmons_om1.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~artinist/images/simmons/simmons_om2.jpg http://home.earthlink.net/~artinist/images/simmons/simmons_om3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Jerry, just got off the phone with Boyd wheels. these guys make wheels similar to centerline but they are much more into custom work and usually into hotrods. they actually have some really nice and modern billet wheels now. they are very light and of excellent quality. i thought they would cost more. 17" 9s 10s or 11s or anything in between. cost: between $330-370 depending on size. any offset you like on any of their designs. looks like a very good deal for very good wheels. check them out: they are here in los angeles. http://www.billetwheel.com oh, the "exclusive wheel" on their site was made for some baseball player and were about $15k for the set so dont call them about it even though its really nice.

backslider Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 My wife has the 19 x 9 cobra R's. They do not fit on the front. I did not try with a wheel spacer. I have a 1/2 inch spacer I will try this weekend. I will take some pics and give dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpackingpoet Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 OKAY. What wheels are these?? http://www.starion-network.com/my_starion/my_starion.htm I want these so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSIBoy Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Those appear to be Panasports... about $350 a wheel if I remember correctly for the 3 piece 17's Also, many of you who like the simmon's wheels should consider CCW's, they are the same style, but about 60% the price. For $350 a wheel you can get any diamater, offset, width and boltpattern www.ccwheel.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 I contacted CCW already. the price he gave me for the 17x9 F and 17x10 R was $1750-1850. i think the $1850 is the street version and comes with a center cap and the race version is the cheaper one. not a bad deal, but the Boyd is a better deal at $1400.
