I personally dont think it will look nice with 5 big lug nuts sticking out of each tire. I didnt like the way it looked when I had just one spare on.

WHY would you want to do that?? if anything i'd buy them and put cheapo tires on and do some burnouts... i'd take sawblades over the spares, they look...well, like spare tires! and that says "i'm to cheap to put real rims on this thing" maybe i dont understand why you're doing this...but it just seems like a step backward on the asthetics of your car... ack!
just because you asked, i got friggin curious...damn it!
OK weirdo..i just waisted 10 min of my life....thanks.
here's the back
here's the front
here's the label that will tell you you're stupid so i don't have to read 1,3,4, and 5. i know that refers also to the rubber, but you get the point
j/k...legit question...i'm just suprised i went out and did this...
and he's right the tire is very heavy... and i wouldn't trust it.
if you want that pressed-steel look go buy some of these

and by the way i am to cheap to put real rims on it. i like my sawblades. im trying to keep my car as stock as possible. i love the way the car looks thats why i bought it. in my opinion not very many cars looked good stock from that era.
i agree. blows most out of the water. plus around my area they are rare...so you get more head-turns. even mroe rare are well-maintained ones...
ya same here. i dont know of another turbo i do see some na's from time to time. thanks for doing that man.
oh yeah...no prob. that tire was a bitch to lift but i was curious on how it looked as well. it doesn't look half bad...but my car's black. it might not look so good on a pearl white car...i dont know. do u have pics of your car? what color are your rims now? if they aren't already...they would probably look good if they were painted pearl white to match your car... in my imagination anyway.
Maybe you should just find some rims that are similar in looks. The only reason I suggest that is because the spare rims cant be but so wide. They may be 16s but they are probably only 6.5-7" wide, you cant fit nice wide tires on those.
I think the spare tire looks great!

how do they compare to the normal stock running tires? They look like the same size on mine....
just another perspective...
i can check the sidewalls i guess but... they look near the same to me.
IMO the first thing that comes to mind when i see these is...HONDA! blahhh... i dunno why but it just does...maybe because you always see cheapo honda's driving around with their hubcappable rims and no hubcaps....
