The second I just picked up, cause I liked them but would like to ID so I can start the quest for center caps, no center caps is a personal pet peeve

Picked up a set of Super Advan sa3r's. Pretty beat up, so once I get some money I'm going to see if I can get them repaired, cleaned up and maybe powdercoated. At least they came with all the caps/coins/trim.

I had a pair of those bottom ones on my last FB. I could never ID hem either, but the guy that bought the car just wanted the wheels for his and ended up reselling the rest of the car.

I can't believe these wheels did not show up till page 18. They were the rage in NY in the 80's. Joe do you still have them? Still very interested if your local buyer hasnt come through yet...

well figured safest place for them now would be to put on the wifes S2 GSL

Had a local guy come by and he was leaning with Rikens as well, I reckon center caps are going to be a bear to find

No problem. It'll be difficult to do since the car has no power. I'll try and get one for you soon
