Does anybody know if Sinister is a good quality brand of wire wheels? I am looking for a set of 16x7 120 spoke ko's for my Camaro. Should I get diamond cut spokes (love the look) or stainless steel spokes? The car will NEVER see winter but will see the odd summer rain. for my car.

Also, who makes the best bolt ons, I am looking for a set for winter and I don't want too much rust. I heard EL Wires are good (Enzo Luxury).

Will any manufacturers pan fit on any bolt on? I like the beveled pans and most manufacturers only have the flat pans! For example, can I put a Player spinner on a Luxor pan on an EL wheel?
Sorry for all the questions, up here in Canada they don't know a whole lot about wires. I wish I were back in Florida!
Thanks, any help would be great!!

There ok...Just like any other off brand wire wheel I would guess...But on the pans, i think some companies make different sizes...i could be wrong though

Thanks for the reply! I might forget about the bolt ons and go with the 120 spoke Sinisters with either the stainless steel spokes or the diamond cut spokes. Not sure which yet. I still haven't made up my mind. The only thing I'm really worried about is rust!

Rust happens on almost all wire wheels unless you dont drive on them...But i would go for knock offs cause they look better...Good luck

Thanks for the tip. I like the Sinisters for the fact they are stamped. No warranty issues if something happens. Sinisters have a 3 year structural warranty. I was thinking about getting the stainless nipples and spokes which was an option. That should cut down on the rust a bit.
