R Dubya Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 They are a totally different material, the x-lace has a stainless lip and cast center, we are talking about aluminum alloy with these. An inch wouldn't make that much of a difference, when you pick one up with one hand and the x-lace in the other it's a drastic difference, I'd say at least 10 lbs each.

Garrett Powered Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 theres no stainless. I think they are mags. which means stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 actually I have no idea what they are made outta but they arent as strong as they could be. or as light as they could be. I want 17's that are light and strong AND wide. dont think I will ever find them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I want 17's that are light and strong AND wide. dont think I will ever find them though. there are plenty of lightweight and 8" wide 17" wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeZ34 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I like the look of it. My preference would be polished 5 spokes though.. that'd look pretty hot on a black TGP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I weighed an xlace I have here and it weighs 25lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Powered Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 anyone seen any good ones? I need to look into it. but I think 255s or better on a 17" rim. I know they would fit because they are lower profile tires. then you could lay a fat patch like the tgp tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacmaniac94 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 that looks tight! the car actually loooks new again! wow! doesnt look like some early 90s/late 80s GP at all! very hott! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Dubya Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 actually I have no idea what they are made outta but they arent as strong as they could be. or as light as they could be. why would you say there's no stainless then? They were definitely mag I thought? I'm pretty sure that the lip of the x-lace is stainless, but like I said, I could be wrong. This is what I don't get about you. You make a plain as day "I'm right" statement then immediately retract it. You have some sort of associative defiant disorder or something? The sky was blue here today.. but I'd bet you'd disagree, perhaps it was green where you are? Anyway.. If I had a way to weigh them then I would, but perhaps someone could provide us with the actual weight of a 5 spoke aluminum wheel? Thanks for the info on the x-lace.

Garrett Powered Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I really dont care what you think of what I say I guess. not saying I dont care how others think. Just, I am not trying to impress you with my knowlege. you are so high and mighty I wont even try. however you are wrong about the stainless. there, are we clear? and I have a right to my opinion, and those wheels look like ass.

GutlessSupreme Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 whatcha think? I wish it were black, I'd like to see, i think it'd look cool. maybe if I find a set for cheap I always thought that pic looked awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett Powered Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 that looks better. maybe its the body kit. seeing them on a TGP makes me want to scratch out my eyes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Dubya Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 When have I ever, EVER, been into an internet scuffle? I don't usually waste my time with comments like this, I have much more important and relevant things to worry about. However, if you were to search, and find a specific person on this site, or any other forum that I regular, I'm sure that you would not be able to find anyone who thinks of me as high and mighty. I keep my comments where they are supposed to be, typically only posting when there is relevant info for me to post (see member info, check post count and join date, you do the math). If you were able to find someone who thinks of that, I'm sure that they suffer from the same problems that you do my friend. GFY (go fuck yourself) If it were up to me you'd get the TGPforums treatment everywhere you went. You are a waste of my time, and just about everyone else's. Is that clear? BTW- thanks for pointing that out about the stainless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 i still would like to see how they would look on a TGP, since a newer B4U kit and miniquad headlights are not common to the TGPs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
