1st wheel is a SLAYER
2nd wheel is a TWO TONE
3rd wheel is a VISTA
4th wheels is a VISTA 5
5th wheel is a VISTA II 5

Big bucks huh? I like #5....but i think those intro's run like a grand a wheel custom made

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.

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....

**special-K** · 05-27-2009, 07:44 PM

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

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.

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.
