If that were any more 80s I'd need a white shirt with popped collar, 3 day scruff on my face, and aviator shades.

Didn't Saab have a wheel similar to those back in the 80's?

Saab has had several 3-spoke wheels, none of them are really similar, though, I don't think.

I used to see these on E21s CONSTANTLY back in the late 80s and early 90s. I'm surprised at how light they are, too.

I actually bought the wheels locally. They came with a set of H-compound Yoko Advan 032-Rs, which I've decided to use up before having them pulled off. 60 treadwear FTW. These wheels are about as close to perfect as you can get for a set of Centras. No rash, perfect chrome, etc.

I actually think these wheels look pretty cool. Better than Borbets, for sure. At least they're made in Germany!

Shows what he knows. If he'd look under the cap, he'd see "CENTRA Made in Germany." in large letters.

Anyone else watch the second part of that video? The tech didn't preload the UCABs or even check any of the ball joints.

Somehow those shower drain wheels kinda work. I predict you'll get tired of them swap before you burn up the rubber. Hurry! Get that thing to the track!
