Integra Type-R wheels in Prelude

I see your DC2R wheels and raise you DC5R:

?

I'd wager that most of the stock wheels that C4 Corvette owners got rid of over the years are now mounted to old Golfs, hence Tornado's sarcasm.

Toyota Estima with R33 GT-R wheels:

Pre-facelift NSX wheels on an S2000

And for comparison, the post-facelift wheels

Tesla Model 3 wheels on Corolla hatch:

Buick Regal GS with Buick Cascada wheels

Early model non WRX Impreza with Audi A8 wheels. In Iowa of all places.

Fiat Coupe wheels on E30

@SVX on Tesla Model 3 wheels:

I am in love with that Estima. I wonder if it's got anything going on with the engine.

Not sure if they used adapters or some aftermarket company made replicas, but I like those on either gen Lightning more than the factory 1st gen wheels.

Adapters seem most likely. The wheels have the same center bore, so you could redrill the rotors and the rear axles and the wheels would fit but you might end up rubbing because the second gen wheels are wider and have a higher offset. Hub centric adapters in a 14mm thickness may do the trick because those suckers have big wells; I know a guy who had one on 305s all around and didn't rub.

Appear to be some variety of Mustang (late S-197?) wheels. They look pretty good, but I'm such a hopeless sucker for graphite/bronze anything wheels that I'm biased.

I'd say they're a set of GT wheels; everything matches right down to the staggering.

Does my 240 running 740/760 wheels count?

Are those a Volvo design in house or designed by Compomotive or Ronal, etc.?

I believe they're just a volvo design. Originally they're supposed to be run with the large center cap like this photo but I like the totally ugly yet rad look it's got running no center caps.

 

[TexRex]

C6 Z06?

I'm surprised by how much I like it.

 

[Tornado]

Hopefully that's also an example of the oem engine in the wrong car thread.

In the old Top Gear Jag skit, Clarkson jokes that he's rather misplaced his wallet. We know where it is. It's at the dealer because the Jag needed another repair.

Wow. Definitely look like rally wheels. Never knew how they looked without the cap. Cool stuff.

As timeless of a design as the Z32 remains to this day, it's so ridiculously sensitive to wheel choice.

300ZX with 993 Carrera RS wheels.

Late squarebody looking super sharp on 454 SS wheels.

These trucks tend to be too low for my tastes when they're on these wheels, so this is a real treat. Such a handsome combination.

Hummer H2 wheels on an OBS Suburban.

R35 RAYS on Elgrand Concept

 

[TexRex]

They're from an H3. Of all the OEM options for a GM 6-lug, I can't fathom why anyone would actually choose these. Probably didn't, rather they were just...available. Gave me a chuckle.

Look like a parking boot is stuck to the wheel.

I gather it's supposed to resemble or invoke the H1's central tire inflation system.
