Old school Wheels

Some people like horsepower, some like trick paint, or building the suspension to handle a 1G turn. My weakness is wheels...Old School Wheels, so check these out. Work your way from A-Z, then tell me what you think.

OMG wow that is too cool:) It would take me a while to even pick a favorite five, I see plenty I would love to have a set of each one for every month of the year or something...

I like em too, I have Geo Storm wheels, which look just like 70's Honda steelies, with beauty rings and H centers. you can't get more old school then that, if you didn't know better,you would swear they were factory Honda steelies from the 70s-80s

so deep

Ive always wanted to get a set of old school mesh wheels for the hatch, but I would want them in a 15", or 16". Most the time when I find some they are either to small, wrong offset, or WAAAAY to expensive. I really am a fan of some of the older wheel tho.

These would be perfect!

Chip Foose has his place no doubt. That dude is a freakin car designing master. His wheels are beautiful but I get lost when they refer to them on his show as "one offs" when they looked like the ones from yesterdays show..The wheels they put on his truck in the overlord episode are the same ass wheels he has had on a dozen others. lol--Go Chip Go

He attempted to build a tuner in one episode and I didnt care for it. Now, can the man build American muscle though? Hell to the yea!

i like his cars, just not the same wheels on every car, they look too modern for an old car

bump

any of the mesh wheels are beautiful.

Those rims are all cool. Get the lightest of the bunch and you'll be stoked.

great find. I know alot of guys on another forum who would love to see this. I wish I could get the spalding rims

Those wheels are hot!!

I love that old school look. The wheels today are ok but in order to have a decent looking set its gonna cost a couple of grand. Not to mention, wheels made today for imports dont 'typically' have a lip, there are a few but not many.

yeah but you can never go wrong with te37's

everyone has te37s though. well probably not in the 3geez world lol

i wanna see those on a car

I wish I could get my hands on any set from that site. I dont care what they look like...

I still say old school steelies, if they are painted right, look great on 80's honda's, you do need the beauty rings though. ignore th wierd lug nuts, they are my temporary ones, so I don't tear up the good ones taking the wheel on and off, the tire is a temporary one also.
