Ghetto Wheels - do you like them or not and Why
Ghetto Wheels (as I have read they are called here) - what is the story on them, I had them on the 95 SLE and I was glad the 97 didn't have them. Now I see a few cars here with them and I think they look OK. I am not being sarcastic and I hope I don't offend anyone about my question or the Verbiage I use.......
So why do you like them and or why do you hate them? |
most 'ghetto golds' are actually ghetto orange by now. thats one of my main reasons. the other is that they're fairly difficult to keep very clean
|
Can of worms dude...
Some like them...some hate them. You'll find the haters are usually because of the pain they can be to clean. I just prefer the look of a torque star. |
which wheel is on my 97, can anyone tell? not a trick question.....
|
Those are the 5 stars. If you look at my sig pic..the car on the left is torque stars and on the right is the 3 spoke or 9 spoke..not sure what they call it.

Ghetto's stay clean with ceramic brake pads, and are the lightest rims on factory bonnevilles. Less rotating mass= more hp put to the wheels.

I loved the ghettos too. Not to say I don't like the other Bonne rims. But the ghetto golds/crosslace silver aren't HARD to clean, it just takes longer. Just use a good wheel cleaner and an old toothbrush. And if you drive for weeks without cleaning them it's your own fault if they're hard to clean :lol:

Seriously, they are my personal preference. Not a fan of "painted" wheel (Ghetto Golds), and I just don't think chrome looks right on modern vehicles. The "brushed aluminum" looks is nice, tho. NOTE: These are my opinions, you won't change 'em, don't try. I'm older and more stubborn that the lot of ya.... :lol: |
