Mint condition 'rotor' rims.

Are they really worth $400 though?

I don't think they suit the 1st gen at all IMHO

Those are jspec rims for the early 80's models.

$100 each is a bit steep for old rims, but where else are you going to get 'em?

They are pretty cool, but I wouldn't spend the bucks on them.

If it will make you happy, then its worth it.

They're nice, but still the same 13x5.5 size, which defeats the purpose of getting rims for a 1st gen IMHO. They do look sweet though. I've lusted over those rims ever since the first time I laid eyes on them.

I saw these on a j-spec turbo in a magazine 15 some years ago and thought they were SO damn cool. I hadn't seen them since. They don't look as cool anymore, times change.

They're okay. They'd look better with black-walled tires.

They are rare as hell,$400. is worth it if you looking for a set.

yeah bolt pattern is the same, the infamous ae86 and the rest of the early rollas share the same bolt pattern
i lost the link to the wheel company that has them for sale for 400 bucks too i think, but they were totally reconditioned wheels. the place had tons of reconditioned wheels too, anyone else have the link?

Early 80s? Japan..I even heard they have been know to float around in AU,

Dont you noticed why people call them " Rotor Rims"

They look nice polished*
