What?! No Cosmics??

I was waiting for you to chime in about that !  Cheesy

Gas Burners first - Cosmics a very close second.

I gotta say... Although I love my Cosmics and I will NEVER sell them, I dont believe they are a true blue cal look wheel. They look a bit busy with the mulitple spokes, and although I havent weighed them, they are BRICKS!!! From the list above I chose Fuchs. Light with strong looks and strong construction. Would you expect anything less from Porsche?? Wink

I agree, chrome 5.5" 5 lugs with no cap looks "just right", ran my car in that fashion for years, and probably will again someday.

You wouldn't have any pics of that by any chance, would you?  Wink
