Default TriSpoke Mission X-Post

I am on a mission to buy some stock 19in Trispokes in mint condition with tires for the right price. If you are willing to sell me these for the right price we can both have accomplished something.... Please pm me if you have these wheels and give me a price and we can work something out....

Phil I shoulda bought yours for the price we discussed....

I will even trade my OEM 18s with Pirelli Cinturados with 85%+ treadlife plus cash on top

This message will self destruct in a few days....

Ballzee-

How come you want to run the peelers? Just get a set of 19" CH-R's or VMRs or something and sell your 18" wheels/tires.

Bruce

the "peelers"

IMO, the 19" "peelers" fit the car perfectly; making it art - so there!

I like the peelers with a drop and low pro tires.. I like CHRs as well but out of my price range and honestly I dont really think I will truly appreciate the VMRs on Ibis... I love BBS wheels and CHRs were my choice too but really expensive for me

As long as you like them DrRick, things are good! Wheels are a personal thing IMO. I do not care for the OEM 19" wheels though.

I disagree. From my perspective, the 18" BBS wheels are a bit wimpy. In contrast, the 19" Trispokes are bold, prominent like the rest of the car - including the oversized grill, the splashy LED headlights, etc. Bold 19" wheels make the car more balanced!

I think the 19" trispokes are great on the car also - much better than some of the BBS snowflakes...lol

DrRick-

I just think the 19" OEM wheels are visually challenged. (BU) Only my opinion of course. My aftermarket 18" wheels are mostly about ride, but better looking than OEM 18" wheels. I could have bought any wheels I wished. Flame away if you wish, it will not bother me.....

Wheels are a personal thing like colors. If you like them (19 " OEM), then good for you... I don't care for them though...

Sure, wheels are a personal thing. But, some opinions are thought of as tacky by most folks. Bruce, I'm just trying to help you have better taste!

I just read the previous thread - in which reviews of 18" BBS snowflakes reached similar conclusions to this Trispoke thread; seen as underwhelming by the vast majority of S4 owners! I guess it depends on the context. Sure - there are times when 18" BBS snowflakes are appropriate - on a Honda Civic! I'm having fun giving you grief - Bruce!
