I just aquired these wheels, but I don't know what they are, I need some ID on them. DON'T FUCKING FLAME ME! If you don't have a contribution or a complement don't say shit.

Thanks.

iknowyoulike · 09-30-2005, 02:50 PM

i want to say rikens but my rikens centercap part don't stick out that much..look nice though...maybe enkies'

NismoSilvia270R · 09-30-2005, 02:58 PM

i like the chromeys alot. polish em up. wouldnt look bad with some wholes in them (strictly for looks) like old rallye wheels

ramblux · 09-30-2005, 03:11 PM

I'm thinking Enkei on the first set. The chrome ones could have come from anywhere. A lot of companies made those to put wire hubcaps over them. It "enhanced" the chrome look and supposedly made them look more authentic.

kazuo · 09-30-2005, 03:14 PM

First set is probably Enkei 92 or a later version (but before they started using the ugly flat centre), dunno about the second set.

First set is definitely not Riken tho.

Irukandji · 09-30-2005, 04:40 PM

looks like scottey paid the junkyard a visit. the first set looks like enkeis because rikens dont have the center that shoots out like that. the second set... i have no idear.

iMAGE976 · 09-30-2005, 05:07 PM

Yup im guessin Enkies for the first set...and some kind of centerlines for the other set.They Kinda look like Drag rims to mee...

Dousan_PG · 09-30-2005, 06:00 PM

enkie and centerline it looks like.

ramblux · 09-30-2005, 06:35 PM

They're chrome steel wheels, not Centerline

Dousan_PG · 09-30-2005, 08:15 PM

well they look EXACTLY like cetnerlines, i use to have some.

Irukandji · 10-01-2005, 01:30 AM

heres a picture of centerlines (on the right)

looks like we got a winner

***FaLKoN240*** · 10-01-2005, 09:42 AM

Haha, thanks guys, I put the "Centerlines" on last night, I think they look pretty cool

ramblux · 10-02-2005, 01:00 AM

Except that Centerline never made steel wheels. Look at the rust around the holes and the fact that the center is a separate welded in piece. And, the wheels are too thin to be aluminum. Centerline has only ever made aluminum wheels. AND, no rivets on the wheels in the pics.

***FaLKoN240*** · 10-02-2005, 03:00 AM

It isn't rust on the wheels, it's some form of oxidation. The stuff comes right off when I sand paper it, and the finish is still fine below the wheels. They're still shiny too.

kazuo · 10-02-2005, 03:32 PM

Scoot, it's rust.

Rust comes off when you sandpaper it too.

Doesn't look like oxidization at all.

Just use really fine sandpaper, sand it off then clearcoat it.

Where's the installed pics?

rainier · 10-03-2005, 01:16 AM

Thank you. That's what I've been trying to say all along!

SHIFT_control · 10-03-2005, 02:42 PM

Mebbe they are SSR reverse-mesh? The center sticks out exactly as far as my Longchamps do

chokudoriS13 · 10-03-2005, 09:56 PM

Actually, it looks like the meshies are neither Enkei 92 or 88's. I believe they are Enkei Apache, which have a center that sticks out like that.

There are several versions of the Apache. This is an Apache IV (looks like its a 2-piece for that version)

non2os13 · 10-03-2005, 10:14 PM

i don't know anout the mesh wheels. the chrome wheels are most likely cragars. super popular in the early 80's.

ramblux · 10-03-2005, 11:41 PM

The chrome wheels are probably Keystones. Look at the following link. These are what bolt onto the wheels that you have.
