Ever see 2-spoke rims?

I found this guy on cardomain.com, and he has some of the coolest wheels I've ever seen. Two spoke 22"s!

I wonder how it rides...

Technically, those have 4 spokes, but they do look like 2. The problem I have with wheels like these, they look cool when both wheels on a side are aligned, but when the front is turned 1/4 or 1/2 more than the rear, it doesn't work for me. The more spokes you have, the more consistent they look, no matter how the wheels are oriented.

i've seen these exact rims before on a car.......... they look saweeet

That has to ride like crap, at least it would around here.

hell no those are ugly

I'm not big into flashy rims , but for some reason the riv wears them well sometimes. I kinda like these. not for my car but they do look good.

I agree with Tony - I am not a big fan of these, I wouldn't get them, but I do think they look nice on that Riv.

If I were looking to get rims outside of factory, these would definitly be my choice.

Back in college, waiting for the subway, I saw an Eclipse drive by with them. I noticed it in motion first thinking it was a cool effect, must be spinners. When the car stopped I saw it was this same "2-spoke" design and I really digged it.

Personally I think most aftermarket rims are boring if not ugly. If I was going to spend that much money you bet I'd go for different. I do like the black rims I saw on our club too, perfect with black.

I forgot the brand or model name of this 2-spoke set but I think I remember it sounded Italian or something fancy.

It looks great on some cars and not as good on others so I've always wodered how the riv would handle it. With the design scheme being curves, I think it works well. I think it reminds me of the rims on the Intrigue concept vehicle a bit more.

i hear you folks,but i just don't think that those wheels match the spirit of the Riv. I don't see harmony between the two-these are two different ideas. Man.....such a great car and these crazy shaped wheels.......

That's alright stan, but I disagree with the wheels not in sync with the riv's aura. It's a big, smooth, whip, and the simplicity and few number of spokes or 'whips' goes hand in hand with the simple, low-detail contours of the Riviera. Somehow though, the Riv looks amazing even though it's a bunch of ovals with two creases running down the whole body. Simple and elegant, and if you've seen these wheels turning you'd see the connection to the Riv instantly.

Maybe you're right IBx1-perhaps seen in person the whole picture will change for me. I am not into flashy shapes and too much of anything .But i still don't thing that we are smarter and more talented than the GM and Buick designers are.those have been schoold and peofessionaly trained and still never came-up with such flashy thoughts but were able to hit the bulls eye with more reserced ideas.
Sorry if i made you people mad-i never meant to.
I Just think the factory unit (car and wheels) looks stunning

just curious whats your age dude??? you should fill out your profile a little more so we have a better idea how to talk to you........ if your like 40 ill respond more mature if your 20 im gonna joke around with you:D

98riviera98 -ohh i don't take jokes seriously .i don't think there are jokers here on this forum,but you feel free to say anything you want i think we deserve to know everybody's opinion.
I am almost 33 years old. i have a -`99 diamond dust!

I actually like the rim design, but they're much flashier than what I'd put on my own car. And much more expensive too, I'm sure.

i agree with alot of you. they are not my taste, i really like the deep dish type like those found on the new BMW745I.. love em. im sure they cost alot too! but in the plus sizes,those big centrifugal monsters can turn even a strong running car into a slow poke! for real! but its true that the rivis look good with a plus size rim. if i ever go after market i think ill stick with 18,s. a good compromise.
