i got a set of TRX wheels, with centercaps...

The wheels are good looking, IMO, just the tires are so  expensive.

Might sell 'em to a syard for the aluminum...:flame:

Do they require some unique tire?
I've always liked how these look~especially for factory rim, And have always wondered why i never see any foxes with 'em on (Other than i just assumed they were scarce).

390 mm tires. Its inbetween a 15-16inch -$300 per tire IIRC. i priced them when i bought my car, since it had the TRXs on it. so i just went to Ponies.

Someone on here (and I can't remember his name) has modified some larger wheels with TRX centers.  This allows more common and better tires with the unique TRX look.
