Thanks to Jeb(lsc8) I have Octastars.:cool: The 10 spoke did look more sporty but the Octastars make it look more luxury. :D I will have better pics Tomorrow.

Dang! I want some 10 spokes very badly!
 
I don't understand the big hype about these wheels. What size are they, 16's? Somebody clue me in.
 
Glad they arrived in good shape Omer.


The boxes were a little "redneckish" but hopefully they did thier intended job.

Its a MarkVIII thing, you wouldn't understand, JK. I'm not so big on them, but they are somewhat rare and they seem to be the stock choice to be unique.
 
They're alright, personally I think Geno's wheels look real nice on the MK8's.

Cragar SS's FTW. I will purchasing Cragar SS's for my car very soon.

Good to hear, they look real nice on the MK8's.
 
I never was a big fan of the Octastars, but they kinda grow on you, and make the Mark look different than all the ones with 10 spokes, plus the chrome usually doesnt bubble and crack like the 10 spokes.

of course i must of gotten the crapy set of octastars from the factory cuz mine blistered and peeled and looked like crap so i got t-bird sport rims diag 5 spoke (not the v-6 split 5 spoke) but the super coupe rims and i think they look great and best of all the stock tires fit so yea no new tires to buy!!!!
 
personaly im not too big on the octostars, kinda look old manish. but thats only my 2 cents. why do the 10 spokes bubble??? factory defect?

Chromer's bad process.I think mosture and stuff gets into the cap area and it starts from there. Stupid Mechs who use impact guns and dont use torque wrenches to put the lug nuts on contribute to the issue. I have 3 crap chrome 10 spokes and one that is show perfect (never replaced that I know of) - go figure.
