pwmin Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 Now, I know they'll fit and will appear wider because of the offset difference (and the fact that they are actually wider), I'm mostly wondering if anyone knows of any pictures of Regals with 5-spokes or cross-laces (even GP's w/ x-laces). I'm not sure if I want to go this route or not because I don't know if they'll fit with my planned brake upgrades, but that's down the line and probably doesn't matter at this time. I definitely want something for summer tires so I can keep the factory wheels for snow tires and I like the look, offset and especially the width of the cross-laces so I can fit wider tires and I think they'd look good painted the body cladding color. There's a yard a couple hours away from me that has a set of both types (white x-laces and silver 5-spokes) for $400. Thanks Quote
KingVee Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 OH MY GOD, Jon! I want those! In comparison with the 5-spokes... Quote
Twenty Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 I like them, but they look a little awkward at stock height. A drop is needed. Quote
94 olds vert Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 Those white GP five spokes on that second gen gp look good. Quote
KingVee Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 I like them, but they look a little awkward at stock height. A drop is needed. The crosslaces seem to look fine, but for some reason the 5-spokes are indeed awkward at the front. Quote
pwmin Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 thanks for the pictures. Hopefully I can find some more, esp of regals w/ x-laces. I actually have a spare mounted to a 2nd gen 5-spoke wheel so I can pretty much see how they'll look, but I definitely like the 1st gen ones better even though they have pontiac engraved in them.

mra32 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 shaun had some pics of his regal with x-laces i think and the Guy taylor had some too. Josh(turbosedan) might have had some too Quote
mra32 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Ok i think i was wrong about everything in my previous post, but this post has pics! found here: http://www.w-body.com/showthread.php/40549-A-Little-Update-on-the-Regal...-(crosslaces) MOAR: Quote
pwmin Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 wow, thanks, they look great on those! If I can't find a good deal on an a/m wheel I like I'm definitely going with x-laces. I think def gray or gunmetal w/ the color of my car Quote
99screaminregal Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Think I know what I am looking for on the GS this summer!! X-laces, and know how I'ma gonna paint em. Quote
