I've been on a deep search for budget friendly wheel options. If money wasn't a factor, I was a huge fan of the white Sparco Terra's. But I couldn't find myself to drop $600 on wheels. Someone on here had a set installed and they looked great! Perhaps in a few years when I'm not paying for a wedding. There was an idea to paint the steelies white. Someone else did this too, and I liked it. My only problem was time. In order to properly clean, sand, coat, and finish each wheel, I'd have to take them off the car. Can't do that with this being my daily. Then I came across these: Slicer wheels from a Gen II Taurus SHO. Dimensions matched: 16x6.5 5x108. Only difference was the slicer's 42 offset to the stock's 50. 8mm outboard would not be an issue. These were $100 for the set found on eBay. Had a few dings, scuffs and bubbling, but I couldn't complain about minuscule defects like that. These turned out way better than expected. Local shop put them on with new stems, and reset the TPMS system for $100 out the door. $200 for everything Once I get new summer tires (probably June or July), I'll op for sticky weights vs the clip-ons. I also learned there are plenty styles of Volvo wheels that match the dimensions of the TC. So if you or someone you know has a set of Slicers or Volvo wheels laying around, check them out!

Man that is hard to beat for the money! Very nice!

Well, I got it. It has been great so far.

I think this thread has been overloaded ..... :-)
