These look fantastic. Not enough info on that site to know if they (the ones on the site, anyway) will fit properly.
Are those 18s? I really have been thinking I would want 17s...I see a lot of pics of 18s where the wheels look awkwardly large, then I see others where they don't. I haven't figured out specifically what the difference is yet.
Kinesis K57s on my '89GT. The suspension (and a whole bunch of other stuff) has completely been redone since the pic was taken 8 years ago so it doesn't sit like an SUV anymore. And no, the paint isn't faded, it's the camera.
So this is more of a wheel question than a post showing the coolest wheels....
In this factory photo, posted by Randy V, the silver car has phone dials, and the car behind it has manholes.
Which model years had wheel style overlaps?
I know that '89 saw Clubsports only on the GT, but that's the only model year that I'd known of a style overlap...until I saw this pic.
I'm gathering that the model year in this photo had style overlaps. That, or at some point in the production year there were different model years rolling off the same line.
Would this be '82?

The silver car in the pic has no front spoiler, while the car behind it does. Must be a model spec change photo. The last non spoiler car and the first spoiler production car.
'80-85 7" flat disk was standard on S model. 7x16" phone dial was option.
'85-91 platinum anodised flat disk were option M347. In '85-86 7" all four and '87-91 7" front and 8" rear.
'88-89 S4 7" front and 8" rear flat disk was standard on S4. 8" front and 9" rear Club Sport was option M393.
'90-91 S4 7" front and 8" rear flat disk with RDK was standard on S4. 7.5" front and 8" rear D90 with RDK was option M400.
Then there's '80-82 4.5L cars with 15" and 16" phone dials wheels. Haven't figured out exactly what was standard and what option. Sometimes it has been said automatics had 15" as standard and 5sp had 16" but that's probably not true. 7" flat disk was also option on these.
New to me 17 inch kinesis wheels 9" wide at front and 10.5 at rear . Took them apart and repainted /polished them , I was going to put track tires on them , but they look too nice . 245/45 on the front but could go 255 as well . rear could be 275 up to 295
offset if I did the math right is 61 mm . Its 2 5/8 " from hub face to outside of the rim , just the same as the OZ wheels in my post 1205 . the rims are actually 8 7/8 inches on the inside
