what rims are you guys running?
 

hello all. what rims are on your old schoolers. got a pic.
lates matt22


here is a pic of my very clean stock steelies.

I'm running a rare set of SSR/Watanabe RS8's....15x6.5 front, 15x7 rear, 2" lip. Rare due to them actually having our 4x110 pcd. I used to have 13" Hayashi 4-spokers but they were too small and I scraped my exhaust everywhere I went. I would like some of those Aussie Simmions FR 17's but they look damn expensive...over 2000 at least. I'd post pics of my car but still haven't got that skill down yet, or pics on a website as I see many people do...

I have some nameless Aluminum knockoff of old Cragar 5-slots. They're 13x6, and carry some fat meats (205/50-13) pretty well. I just updated my cardomain site with new pics and I'm looking to sandblast the car in the next few days - gonna see if I can't overhaul my little girl over the winter. Anyway, here's a shot of my rims.

i had a set jsut like those. they came on my 808 when i had that. i think thery were Wolf somethings, the Aussy's knew what they were. they do hold the meat as you said. I really hope the libra or libre rims i am gonna pick up are the right bolt pattern.

Anybody want to post some pics of a set of Libra rims on ther car???
please

American Racing Libre/Libra(s)
 

Not exactly on a car, but I have these sitting in my apt. They are 14x5.5, 4x110mm and in quite good shape considering their age. I had originally planned on putting them on my RX-2 but went with different wheels.

The catch is they take these weird shank style lugs that had proven difficult to find. I was going to have them machined out to accept regular sized shank lugs but never did.

If anyone's interested in them let me know. I had planned on listing them on eBay in a month or so but if there's interest here...

what do you mean by weird shank style lugs??? I migh tbe picking a set up, and woud of course need to find something for them to work. by the way sinse you dont have tires on your can you get a estimate on the weight? thanks Matt22

15x7 panasports

the centerlines (the rear are centerline look-alike but the fronts are real centerlines) were on the RX-4 but I replaced them with 13X7 enkei gold mesh

I have a set of Diamond 13x7's with free 205/50R-13's which i get as take-off rear wheels from a Spec racer Ford friend of mine.

I have a set of 13x7 oldschool panasports. But do not trust myself with them on the car.

Some day I would like to have a set of White Rays TE-37's in the same size, AND some Kodiaks!

They are weird in that they're more narrow than the commonly available shank style lugs. The ID of the lug hole on the wheel is ~14mm and the common shank lugs you use on most other wheels that use that style lug are ~17mm.

I'll weigh mine if I get a chance, but don't have a scale so I'll have to take them somewhere else. Also mine are 14s which I've been told is a rare size.. I think they mainly came in 13s so these might weigh a tad more.

sweet pics Wacky, Hey SS124A post some pics buddy.

nice pics wackyracer, i like the watanabe look on the first gen 7 :bigthumb:

Hey Crit when did you get those rims? lates matt22

My Rims
 

Hey Matt,

Are you still looking for those American Racing Libres?? If so I might Sell Mine and they are MINT and are 13" all around!

well the guy i bought my 2 rx2's from has a set but i am not sure if they are the 110 pattern or a 114.5 pattern, either way they are gonna be mine for 100 bucks. but thanks though. I might however be selling both my rx2's and the extra stuff i have for them though. lates matt22

I picked up the rims around August, but they were pretty pitted. I recently got them on the lathe and resurfaced them. Now I just need center caps. Actually, when I was sandblasting my hood (and discovered the shape it's in) I blasted the wheels that came on my car. I'll be powdercoating them black shortly and hope to make som AutoX rims out of them.

I'm not really sure what brand of wheels these are. They kinda look like some cragers. They came off my RX2 race car. They are 13's and those old slicks measure 11 inches across.

Those are Cragar-style, but I thought mine might be Cragars as well. Ends up they never cast ANY 13s, so we've both got knock-offs. BTW, do you get any vibration with that slotted bolt pattern?

Car still doesnt have an engine and tranny so I dunno yet. :)

Sorry, replied to the wrong thread....

REPU: 235/60/14 Dunlop Qualifiers on 14x7

dont know if it helps BUT, at work the other day, I saw a 280z with those crager styled rims and the cap in the middle said Fenton. Also i know i have at least one or two of the caps that came on mine somewhere, so one day i will find them ans see what they say. lates matt22

HEY Crit I ws right, I actually sold you those crager style rims. I thought
your name sounded real familier. it was back in April. crazy shit.
lates matt22

I would really like to pick these up, nice and wide, but if I get the big brakes in front they won't fit...old SSR MK III's, 14x7.5 & 14x8 I think I'd rather get some 17's...those Simmons FR17's would be nice!

Here is my RX 2. I am running 15 X 7's, ROH's. They were special ordered from Australia, and took months to get here. A little dirty right now, but the wheels clean up nicely.

Well those are something you don't see everyday...what did it cost to get those here?
Pretty f*#kn' clean 2!

Thanks :p:

They cost about the same as a set of very nice old school rims.
