Does anyone recognize these old aftermarket wheels?

sorry, never seen them before - pretty sure they are not from Down-under.

Well I got 'em for $27 so I figured that was a good deal. I think they look kinda cool.

Wankelguy

Wow, good score.
I think those are Revolution wheels, very hard to come by.

Thanks Wankelguy. They were on Ebay for everyone to see. The opening bid was $25, and somone else bid that but didn't care enough to hang around at the end. I made the second and winning bid.

I just figured everyone except me thought they were horribly ugly or something. The more I look at them the more I think they are really cool.

Wankelguy

Lucky for you I've been preoccupied with my Fiesta lately.
If I'd seen them, you'd have had a bidding war on your hands, lol.
They ARE really cool.

Fiesta? As in the close relative of the Ford ASSFIRE?

I agree with Wankel, they may be Revolutions. Or BWAs. either way, they are British and cool. Just the thing for any 60s-70s car. Wheels like that tend to be $50+ a piece.

Saturn-
The Fiesta was an excellent little car that at one point you could get with a turbo 1600. Sounds small, but the car wieghs like 1700lbs. You are thinking of the Festiva. But we shouldn't expect much from someone whose screen name has 'Saturn' in it and his avatar has a PURPLE Gremlin. The Gremlin's ok, but PURPLE?

those were the type of rims that you can buy from Pep-Boys back in the days. They were not as popular as Enkei, Epsilons, Rikens, Hayashis and others.

You could buy 4 x 110mm wheels at Pep Boys? Well I guess that makes some sense since judging by all the old literature I have the rotaries were a big thing back then.
Oh well...I don't care where they came from. They look as good as those other wheels to me.

I like them

Wankelguy

They are definitely NOT RX3 or RX4 wheels.



My '80 FSP Fiesta autocrosser, it's also my wife's daily driver. Please don't confuse it with the Kia-made Festiva, they are worlds apart.

SaturnHKS

Ah, Fesiva. Anyways, even the Assfires and Festivas aren't bad cars if you turbo them.

Nice looking car you got though!

That car has a lot of trick stuff done to it.

Look like AP wheels from japan, had seen some on a RX-3 in an old sport compact.

I saw them but passed since they were only 13x6s, plus I'm dead broke.

If you really want to tease yourself with Fiesta stuff, check out the forums for the British RS Fords and for the Fiesta XR2 Turbos.

those rims u bought sorta resemble the Z06 rims....and they are cool. If I got a 1st gen. or an RX-3 tho, u can bet I would put some badass panasports on there. God I love those rims....

My Fiesta is featured on a UK website. You can find it by going to http://www.retrofiesta.co.uk/ and clicking on "media". My car is the green one in the "Mk1" category. (Duh.)
All US Fiestas ('78-'80) are what the Brits call a Mk1.
I'm not fond of the later models myself, but there are some cool RS turbo models available in the UK.

And some US based ones.

Sorry for the momentary sidetrack, but you know Ford Fiestas are attractive to the same type of people who would love say, old rotary cars?
