Wheel Show! Post your pics of you wheels


Recommended Posts

thanks, i also herd they were american racing but he wasnt for sure

 

It's possible that American Racing made them or a similar wheel at one time. All I know is that what's left of a sticker on the inside of my wheels says Cragar. It wouldn't surprise me if AR made them a version of these too though.

Pictures of my car with 30 year old three piece 16x8 - 0 offset BBS magneisum race wheels, weighing in at 13.5 lbs each. BBS stated that these wheels were never imported into the USA. The wheels did not come from BBS with a lug pattern that would fit a Z. The wheels were redrilled to fit the Z lug pattern.

Careful with the BBS wheels that you have. The Magneisum can develop hairline cracks and break on you. They look killer but from a safety standpoint keep an eye on them. They do look very nice and clean.....

 

They also burn pretty good. What he said, be careful. :wink:

Thanks, I am aware of the cracking, oxidizing, and burning issues. The wheels were in great shape when I recieved them. The original paint and sealer was in amazing shape. The wheels have been bead blasted to bare magneisum and throughly checked. I talked to BBS about X-raying them and it was not recomended, just throughly vizulize them. The wheels were then sealed and painted.

 

The burning issue, while working as a fireman I was putting out a car fire on a Ford Bronco II. There was some flames still comming from under the drivers side dash. I hit the flames with the hose and boy things got exciting. For some reason there is magneisum in there. Been there done that.

SSR Reverse Mesh 17x8.5 +19 fronts, 17x9 +13 rear.

Those are my ideal wheels, Bert! Who, what, where, how much, please?

 

Actually, I'd prefer them in 16's if I could find tires that fit the width well for a decent price. Also, I might prefer 8's in front. I would love to see full-car pictures!

Still putting my car back together. I'll bolt the front wheels on and snap photos during the week. I gave up my left nut and half of my right one to get these. To find a reverse mesh in this offset and size is ULTRA rare. These were shipped from Japan.

I initially posted wrong offsets. They have since been corrected.

Oh you lucky SOB, those are my dream wheels as well, but I settled on some 16" instead, still took me 6 months to find them. SSR mesh ftw!

Which ones did you get? Reverse mesh (non stepped lip) or formula mesh (stepped lip)?

 

Both :)

 

I bought a staggered set of reverse mesh, but what I got was two 16x9 reverse mesh and two 16x7.5 formula mesh.

 

not the ideal outcome but I figured that I will use them until I find a set in 17"

If you haven't already posted them up, do so now!
