I miss my RoadStars, I had a set of 72 spoke all chrome with the gold 2way spinner, had them for almost 2 years and sold them late 99 ($600) to get them la wire KOs that all had just to pound on that knock off, wish I hadn't though. I was using a breaker bar on them RoadStar hubs.

Those are dope, I had two sets of 15x7’s on my ‘90 5.0 back in ‘96 & ‘97, neither set last more than 3 months before my car was stolen each time, gave up on wires for a few years until Dubs became the new thing and wires were less likely to get stolen, I thought Roadstars were a great value and better than D’s!
@lonestarlows5 жыл бұрын
I like the fluted spinners and the eagle chips. They scream 90s. Also the offset. The spinner is pushed out closer to the lip of the dish than any other wire wheel. I prefer them over any wires

I just picked up a set of used roadster roadstar 13x7 100 spoke series 3 wire wheels. On the adapter, it says "Off", "Lock", "On". When loosening/tightening, Should the flat part of the 8mm hex lock be facing inward? If your installing the wheel and you're finished tightening, Do you turn the 8mm hex lock so the flat part faces outward toward the word "Lock"? When loosening, it would be just the opposite. Is this the correct way to install/remove the wheel? And what does "Off" and "On" mean? Just want to make sure I that I'm doing everything correctly.
