I found this picture with 97 Q rims on a first Generation Q. What do you think. I think it does have a little bit of charm, but I would hate to be criticized on the look. I am currently running 16" Eagle RSA's. I think they might fit

I would bet my Al Green collection that the car pictured belongs to Heath. Also check member's rides for Lurch's...I mean Hitman's 95 with those wheels (chromed).

I think they look awsome.Aboslutely classy yet a sporty too.Those wheels look like they are purpose designed to complement the looks of the first gen Q's.

I had that pic as my wallpaper at work for a week.

They look pretty good to me. Not flashy, but more attractive than any of the original 90-96 wheels. I may be biased since I have a set waiting for tires to go on my 95 though. :) I really wanted a set of the 5 star wheels that came on second gen Q45s (touring wheels?), but those are hard to find. I saw a set on ebay once, but they were quite expensive.

I have just purchased the same exact rims(non-chrome ) from a 98 Q45. I am hoping these will fit on my 97 J30t. What are the exact specs on these wheels including offset and tire sizes that I can run. All info is always appreciated. Thanks, Aj

Damn fine looking car - :) (it's mine)

I've gotten lot's of compliments on the rim upgrade... "car looks newer" etc. I was trying to find something that looked good, without looking too aftermarket since I use the car for business and it's good to look good, but not too sporty in real estate - at least in Columbia, SC.
