Hahaha...I love the names people come up with for GSR wheels.

Blades, chromes, hammerheads, snowflakes, etc...

He means the 94-95 GSR/SE wheels I think. I saw another dude refer to them as that. Either way this belongs in A/C

I have never heard of Hammerhead used for these wheels....but maybe I'll start using that name now I have heard all the other ones though....its crazy how the GSR wheels get so much fame that they get their own nicknames

I like the polished ones. people hate on ethem alot, but ever since they came out i wanted them. I was gonna polish mine, but my friend powdercoted all 4 took the tires off and remounted and balanced them for $20...you can see that wasn't a hard disciion to make...no plating company could even come close to that deal. haha.

Turbo Tage (no he doesn't have any turbo cars).... heh I've had his website in my favorites since back around 1997 or so, and I've been following it ever since then. He used to have a bagged 90-93 Accord, which got stolen and stripped, so then he bought the GS-R and since then got HEAVY into autox and roadracing, with a few drag runs here and there.
