I can get a set of 20's for 2450. I am going to run Vista 5's on my truck. You have good taste btw

big_al_71 · 05-27-2009, 02:40 PM

I like the last one....

m6z · 05-27-2009, 01:19 PM

I really like the vista & the vista 5. If I end up going with a high end wheel for my build it will mostlikely be the vista. Unless somthing new comes along that I like.

Well im undecided and want to buy a nice wheel, cause once I buy something there's no turning back

They all look about the same,except the first one with a slight swirl.But,the last ones resemble Radirs and I like those.

I was stuck on 3 and 5, voted 5, it was a toss up for me on those two, I like them both.

QKENUF4U · 05-28-2009, 01:43 AM

SLAYER myself....

au03z71 · 05-28-2009, 09:33 AM

Vista 5 all the way.

Will it hurt your feelings if I say none of the above?

My personal opinion is that on about 90% of the vehicles on the road those big wheels and rubber band tires look cartoonish instead of cool.

They have way too much of that "hey look at me, I just blew 4,000 on wheels that will be out of style three months from now".

In all fairness I ran a set of 20 intro twisted vista's in 2002. Thats 7 years ago and from the look of this post they look to still be in style. Matter of fact this wheel is based of a GTO wheel from the 70's I think. I know it is based off of one of those old wheels

IMO Billet Specialties, Intros, Bonspeeds, and the like will never go out of style. I'd do nearly anything for a set of 20" or 22" Vista 5s.

To bad your so far away I have a pretty good hook up on them

SacramentoJoe · 05-28-2009, 02:35 PM

I kinda like the Two Tones the best. Maybe someday.

Some styles never go out. Even after 40 years, my rims just look right (to me) on my ol' truck.
