    Yeah, but the one up there is a 3piece billet recreation. P-Slots also were available on Saabs, Volvos and MKI Golfs in Europe. We only got the two sizes of the style.

    Don't dis' those Fittipaldis too much; I've got a set of the American Racing version in 16x7... I found 'em kinda ugly when they were polished, but a couple cans of spray paint and I got the poorman's Compomotive MOs:

    THAT IS AWESOME!

    I agree on the "natural" rust... I cannot wait for that trend to die.

    As for the fittis on the merkur.. two thumbs up!

    Glad you guys like 'em... and technically mine are American Racing, though I swear they're the same as the Fittipaldis. Best part about wheels like these is that you can still get 'em for next to nothing; I paid $25 for the entire set of four 16x7s as found on craigslist... seriously.

    BTW, the three sets of Enkei 92s I have (one set 15x7, two sets in 16x7) were each under $125 a set. That's like $32 per wheel, and they're pretty darn lightweight @ 15.5 - 16.5 lbs.

    Yeah, the "stance" crowd really took a liking to Vette sawblades. There's a slammed/stanced Jetta in my town that's rolling on white Vette wheels. Looks good, actually.

    Most of the wheels in this thread are obsessed over on the forums of www.stanceworks.com
