Any old schooler first gen guys here?

Well in FL theres a set of wheels,Pretty hard to find,but mostley seen on the drag strip on old first gens and Old Corrolas,We call them Baby Supras.

Most of the time peopel put them skinny in the front and wide in the back like a 13x7 or 13x8

The look like the old 80s multi spoke stock Corrola wheels..

This is the only pic I can find online at the time



Who really makes them?

I know I can get them in Orlando but I want to see who makes them (online) so I can find a nice size to get them in..

I came across some new drag radials yesterday

$100. for the pair with wheels,but the wheels wont fit my ****

The size is M 50-14 <--- 12in wide tire

Im going to see if I can do anything with these or maybe work out a deal on my friends 13s that are wide as hell..

Does any one know about these wheels?

Sorrow,

I am pretty sure they were used in toyotas from the late 70's till about 1981.

I am pretty sure they were used on the Celica (Supra) as well as other Corolla's, etc.

I don't think they fit regular first gens without actually ovaling out the holes some though.

If you notice the front wheels are stock Toyota wheels,

The rears are wide,The have to be like a 6 or 8 on wide wheel.

There should be alot fo them on old Toyotas and RX7s in Miami,I see them alot at Lakeland drag strip.

I thought some of the old Toyotas were 4x110 cause I seen a Corolla with 83 LE wheels,and some RX7 wheels on the old Corollas
