  • Ever want to compare Salad Shooters to 5 spokes?...

    Well here you go!!

    My inspection was coming up, and my bald tires on my 5 spokes were not going to cut it.
    I got these off of a supercharged 95 Z28 running around here.
    Wheels and tires with a lot of tread for $100

    Also, I would appreciate opinions about if you think I should keep them on or not.....

    Looks good IMO. Paint them black and polish the lip :tup:

      I think you should transfer the tires to the 5 spokes.

      I do think the shooters look better when painted like mine, but stock for stock the 5 spokes have miles on them IMO. Seeing as you do have the black accent color going, painting them is an open option that could look pretty good.

          they look really good in that second picture.

          if i didnt destroy two of mine, i'd probably still be rolling around on em.

          i do think theyd look a lot better in a 17" or 18" version.

            Quick thought....

            Is the material that the salad shooters made of the same as the 5 spokes??

              I do believe they are all aluminum alloy. The shooters weigh less though because of the design.

                What would it look like if you painted the 5 spokes black with a polished lip?

                    Thats exactally why I asked the question of the materials.

                    Since they are already off of my car, I might as well try it out sometime...

                      Yeah, I think you should give it a try. I really don't think I have ever seen 5 spokes painted black. I've seen the salad shooters and the snowflake wheels, but never the 5 spokes.

                        I dont get why everyone hates the saladshooters. Personally I like them better the the 5-spokes that are on mine.

                          Has anyone ever stripped the paint from the 5-spokes and simply polished them?

                            they make chrome ones

                            do the 5 spokes have the same type of lip as the shooters do? like raised a little and prefect for leaving unpainted? cause im pretty sure snowflakes do not.
