anyone recognize these wheels?

[lostforawhile]

I spotted these on a 'yoda, I kind of like the style, it had that old 80's look to it, I think with some argent silver and maby some beauty rings they would look very old school. does anyone know if they are factory, and what kind of yoda this is or what year?

i think you me rolla rite?

[lostforawhile]

just found them, 96 corrola they look straight out of the 70's and eighties not for a modern car at all. 4x100 5.5 rims 14 inch and front wheel drive offset. I didn't know any modern cars had slotted steelies. thats a very old school look. need some beauty rings and honda centers is all.

I think he has a few sets at the yard here ,they are easy to find i see corrolas there all the time i just didn't know what th wheels were off of,they look like 70's honda factory steelies but in 14 instead of 12 like the civic 1200s

[ShyBoyCA6]

oh ok are you putting these on the 3g?

[lostforawhile]

oh ok are you putting these on the 3g?

possibly if my financial situation ever improves, they should be dirt cheap, a little argent silver,thats an old school silver, and i have a brand new set of beauty rings never opened,for 14 inch wheels. I already have center caps.

[ShyBoyCA6]

sounds good lost hope things pick up for you man so you can get them wheels and post pics

[lostforawhile]

if i remember right a lot of old honda factory wheels were very close to the argent silver,they didn't use to all be black

[lostforawhile]

this is the color, of course this wheel is rusted a bit http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/722/2481/26803740070_large.jpg

[ShyBoyCA6]

hmm looks like semi metallic but like flat but it looks good

it's an old school silver, it was invented in the 50's but was used a lot in the 70's and 80's. Honda had silver steelies back in the day with an almost identical color.

[ShyBoyCA6]

hmm well i was around that time kinda born in the late 80's

[lostforawhile]

if he has a corrola he sells steelies for ten bucks apiece. scrap steel price. I'm old enough to remember people racing civics in the late seventies, But i never knew they got them that fast.

[ShyBoyCA6]

how fast?

[lostforawhile]

how fast?

how did that post get in this thread? ,wierd. it was supposed to be in this thread http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71473

this looks to be the best option, i need to get wheels and tires on this car so i can roll it out of the garage to work on it, I can get them from Bivens here for 10 bucks apiece possibly with decent enough tires to move the car around. a little of that argent silver and the beauty rings, and they will look like vintage honda wheels.

[2oodoor]

looks like oem bumper silver for domestic pick ups

I looked today and there was hardly a wheel on anything at the yard, saw a corrola gt with the rare 4/100 wheels, but two of them were gone. there's probably a car sitting on them somewhere. They will get some eventually, i won't have any money until the middle of the month anyway. There are probably 9934884775664 toy-yoda's on the road with those wheels.

[lostforawhile]

I'll have a little money next week, so i put a posting on craigslist for a set of them for 40 bucks, i need to get the car rolling so i can clean out the garage, and be able to work on it. I kept having to steal wheels for the civic, since my wife likes to ruin them. With all the crap i've been through and everything I have had to sacrifice or sell for this dysfunctional family, I deserve something.

[lostforawhile]

I looked at the yard to see who had them, and no one does, it seems all the Camrys are going across the border to Mexico, even non running ones. At least thats what several people at the junkyards told me, there is one yard in Albany that has a 97 geo prism, same car,different name, with steelies, I checked on the net, and same wheels. I'll look Tuesday. who knew steel Yoda wheels would be so hard to find?

[ShyBoyCA6]

well you looking for wheels that are from a 1996 rolla so chances are slim unless bought online since they are like 14 years old

[lostforawhile]

it looks like the ones he has on the geo prism are identical,it's just a rebadged corolla , the yard here has about ten of these cars, but not a wheel in the yard,usually steel wheels aren't much in demand. I just think when they are painted with the rings and H center caps, they will have that old school look i've been searching for , when these cars were new, painted rims with beauty rings were in style, so it suits the car

I talked to the guy who owns the yard and he said he has a prism sitting out front on tires, with the wheels. He doesn't think anyone will come in before Tuesday looking for them.

[lostforawhile]

I got this off of 2geez this is I believe the 82 accord hatch with the factory silver steelies, I already have a set of these caps. http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq135/maynd/PICT0016-1.jpg

it's different but the same style basically, the yoda wheels actually look like vintage hot wheels wheels. Certain cars just work with old school steelies and beauty rings

[Civic Accord Honda]

check out the JDM brochure, not sure if it's Accord or 2nd generation lude, but look at the steelies, and it's a Panda. :eatarrow:
