3800 GP Tri-Spokes...

[RebelGTP]

You may know that I think that the Tri-Spokes are hideous...

However, they look good on an Aztek... you take a hideous wheel and put it on a hideous vehicle and it seems as though they were made for each other...

Saw one in Loves Park Yesterday...

I dont think they were as awful as everyone makes them out to be. The rim or Aztek. Id rock an Aztek over a Vibe or any other small SUV any day of the week.

 

[RebelGTP]

Strangely enough, it didn't look to bad...

Azteks are okay, I guess... but the Tri-Spokes look okay on it too...

 

[Fish]

If you are ever bored, go look up all the features of the Aztek. They are very cool vehicles. Not many people knew they had HUD. In the later years, Pontiac even gave it the trademark red look.

I like my TRI-Spokes......But I have the Polished ones

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

Tri spokes honestly look better in person than in pictures. I like the way they look on the 2000 Daytona's. Black torque stars ftw though. I can't wait to paint my torque stars black in the spring.

FTW! wish mine were polished

vibe longevity and gas mileage over aztek longevity and gas mileage for sure.

Main Spokes polished, mini spokes a gun-metal shade, and lip polished

uh, what? Torque stars > solid 5 stars > crosslaces > tri-spokes

 

[Yaj Yak]

sebring (special edition wheels) ftl more than anything.

The Aztek has the 3400 in it. Its not as big of a tank as a 3800, but it will last just as long if well taken care of. Plus, if the tranny goes out, just get a ZZP or Tranny man trans since its a 4T65E.

The Vibe doesnt have the cool gadgets the Aztek has. Look it up. You would be suprised what comes in that ugly car. It actually looks less ugly to me IMO just cause I know it functions well.

I will have to disagree with you

Black Torque Stars>Torque stars>Tri Spokes>Crosslaces

my vibe gets 30 mpg and shits on azteks. and has an a/c power outlet in the dash.

yes, i agree with that order, but i said w-body. and GM made more horrific wheels then just those. the special edition wheels are really bad (sorry rebel). then there were those buick chrome wheels that should have never been put on a car, ever. the regal is a good looking car, but those retarded chrome wheels kill the look. then the steel wheel with hubcaps are just

i really wish pontiac put the red HUD in the grand prix. the entire dash is red, but the heads up has to be green......

at least they changed the ECC readout to red after 98. 97 and 98 cars were green too

yeah... I want to switch my regular dual-zone to ECC... an '02 unit from Morad has been on my wishlist for a while

as for the HUD, it may be a bit cheesey at first, but how about trying where you put a piece cut from a red stage lighting gel over the HUD lens?

I don't know exactly how far the HUD itself can be opened, but overlaying the piece of red lighting gel may change it to red?

You can get damn close to that with the 3400 AND when you stomp on it at least its gonna pass something instead of making a really loud buzzing noise and not going anywhere.

Plus ur 1.8 may last but once you get a decent amount of miles on it, its gonna start burning oil like every other foreign 4banger and the interior is gonna fall apart.

2000 was the last year for the ECC. And as far as I know, it's pretty damn hard to get one to work on an 01+
