Yes, that car does have the polished ones on it. They dont look all that great polished. While on powertour there was a green 80 sport coupe that had them on it. I saw it last year as well. Looks right at home on the cars. Surprised not more people have bought them. I'd like to have a set for my 80 but it already has a set of 17's on it. Maybe when I raise the front back up i'll do it.

I saw an 81 that is earlier in this thread with the N90's and a touch lowered. When he rolled by it had the look. It was one of those moments only a car guy knows. The sexiest thing you ever saw without legs.

Just to be clear. The N90 is offered in a 17 x 8 for the front and a 17 x 9 for the rear with a similar fitment of 245 45 17 and 275 40 17 tire size?

Here is my thoughts on how the 17 inch 5 spokes would look best. Im not a fan of the grey color on them. Unless its on an early second gen. For a later gen i think body color is the way to go. So i TRIED lol to photochop something together that would give the idea.

First is the green car form the page before: (best one i did)



I think this looks AWESOME! This picture really has me thinking about these wheels later after i get my Z28 painted.

Here is my not so good version using a car the same color as mine will be.

SO here is a question... Is it possible to widen these wheels (5 spokes) from 17x9 to 17x11 adding an inch to both sides?

That's exactly what I want to do and I'm willing to use two extra wheels to achieve this.Maybe weldcraft wheels can do this.
