17" Star Wheels?

Post by tnpartsguy »

Does anyone have the 17" wheels that are a 5 spoke 'Star'? Not the twisted 5 spoke, but the true 5 point stars? I saw them in the parts catalog today, and I was curious if they really came out or not.....

Through the GM catalog eh? AFAIK, I haven't heard of any. But if such things exist, that would be a good thing for those who want a set of 17's that look OEM but don't necessarily like the look of the optional 17-inchers.

This is VERY Similar to the wheel pictured in the GM parts catalog. I think they would look Awesome on a Vibe.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW

The rims on my car are sorta similar to that, they are 18" ADR Fuels. I know you can get them in 19s also, but not sure about 17s

I saw and wanted those for a while, but got such a good deal on my 19" Axis Spiders thanks to Ballrub that I couldn't pass it up! Those Fuels' are nice!
