jeremy Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 very big improvement....the stock 97+ x-laces are even uglier then the first gen ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 very big improvement....the stock 97+ x-laces are even uglier then the first gen ones. x2, plus black wheels on a very dark car doesn't look good in the first place IMO.

Breakdown Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'm a Hi-Po Torque star guy myself. Torque stars have a really unique and clean look. If you had more of a show car like Adam (and when I say show car, I mean that you practically don't drive it), it would be more feasible to get the tires nice and shiney and keep the polish nice on the lips to really pull off the black look with the nice silver rings. It's kind of like guys with long hair, you either maintain the stuff or cut it the hell off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 very big improvement....the stock 97+ x-laces are even uglier then the first gen ones. I really didn't mind the 2nd Gen x-laces, but they screamed old, just because the 1st gens went from x-lace to 5 star. That being said. Fat-five = FTL, unless it's white or gold. One of the most boring and bland GP rim designs after the sawblades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 very big improvement....the stock 97+ x-laces are even uglier then the first gen ones. I like them silver or not at all. I guess they thought it would look faster. I still like first gen ones though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 FIRST GEN! FIRST GEN! FIRST GEN! FIRST GEN! FIRST GEN! FIRST GEN! FIRST GEN! Not hard to pick out the 97+ guys, they call everything before their car a first gen because they think their car is far too superior to of had anything worthy of recognition come before it! /rant BTW, I vote 5-stars or 1st Gen cross laces, the 2nd gen cross laces are some of the ugliest rims that came on w-bodys IMO Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted to eaton Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 LOL i always say 1st gen. I have more 1st then 2nds well i guess right now i got a 1st 1.5 and 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Im voting xlaces because I like how they look on your car... They really stand out. I would hate them if they were plain silver tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love first gens and would certainly pick up another if the right one came along. What's your theory on the fact that I refer to '04+ as post gens?

Addicted to eaton Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Just thought i would add another angle! Deff looks Wider with the off set of the 5 spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 that's because the offsets are way different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted to eaton Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Wider with the off set of the 5 spokes I was saying the offsets make the car look wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Torque stars... Pre gen 5 spokes look too fat sticking out like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWeb80 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 As Much Of An X Lace Leg Humper That I Am, The 2Gen Ones Are Butt Ugly. I Say 5 Stars. The Wider Offset Helps. Because The Stock 2Gen Wheels Do Not Have An Offset That Really Makes Them Look Right. It Makes The Cars Look Fat And Bloated. This Is An Aggressive Look.

The offset of the Gen 1 5-spokes on the Gen 2 GPs is perfect. Makes the wheels flush with the body panels vs. any Gen 2 wheel, which looks pushed in. An inch or 2 drop would REALLY enhance the aggressive stance even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP2389 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 a guy around my neighborhood has a black gt with those rims on it and i love the stance the car has with em on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
