Hey all,

Out of curiosity, wanted to do a poll to see what everyone's favorite wheel design is for the 86.

can i vote twice? Im a fan of le old school style 5 spokes, and mesh.

5 spokes all day long.

TE's and RG's are timeless. Six spokes will never go out of style as is referenced by all the replicas - Rota, Varstoen, etc..

Ten spokes are meh. More of a Euro style for me than a Japan style.

Mesh is again, timeless. You can put on an old school LM style up to a newer RG-R or Ch and it will look great.

I just love the simple design of less spokes.

It really depends on the rims, I prefer 6 spoke for the most part, but 10 spoke looks really good on Volks CE28.

It seriously depends on the design. There are bad and good looking wheels in each option.

Re: 5 spoke wheels

Only work when you have a brake kit to show off, otherwise makes the brakes look puny since the spokes show them off.

Re: 6 spoke wheels

Timeless classic...that everyone and their mother has ripped off.

Re: mesh wheels

I'm considering these as mesh and V-spoke wheels; I love V-spokes personally. See many rip off wheels (TSW Nurburgring etc.).

Re: my wheels

I have Weds TC105N; they were similar in look to unavailable SSR Type F's and I like high spoke count wheels with thin yet not too thin spokes. The V-window made by the spokes looks nice. Other wheels like this include the XXR 527 and Rota Titan. 10 spoke wheels look great IMO.

Re: 57 Extremes.

A flat out ugly wheel.

What about 8 spokes? Something along the lines of Compomotive or Watanabes? I really like the 16x8" Enkei Compes, just waiting to see what the +25 offset looks like.
