Wheels

7-spoke Mercedes Fuchs alloys are terribly handsome.

'82-6 Camaro Berlinetta 14" alloys.

Revisiting polycasts. These were optional on seventh generation Ford Thunderbird and their Mercury Cougar siblings.

The aluminum "turbine" wheels that were available on these cars are maybe more objectively attractive--they're definitely lighter--but I appreciate polycasts because they're polycasts.

Said aluminum wheels:

Among the best looking turbines, OEM or aftermarket.

[long sigh]

Another 'bird had some gorgeous turbines, and it was much more deserving of them.

I wish.

Early OBS Chevy 2wd alloys.

I think they're handsome.

Mmm, Gas Burners.

Steel wheels look better on modern vehicles than I thought they would:

 

[TexRex]

I don't like oversized steel wheels. Twice the sidewall with the same OD and a bigger gap above the tire and then sure.

Callaway. 16" Dymags.

Shame about tire availability.

Speaking of (I might as well post it in this thread), I'm excited because Konig is doing their first line of fully forged wheels this year and they are (for the first time I think?) doing 120.65x5 pattern in an almost identical size to the C5 Z06 rear wheels but even lighter and almost certainly less expensive than new actual-Speedlines are.




I really like these ones.

BBS CHR vibes but I'm guessing for way less money. That little lip profile on the back edge of the spokes really does a lot of these type of wheel designs, IMO, and its why the BBS examples always tend to have a bit more finesse than their competitors.

These look an awful lot like real, legitimate 100% authentic TE37s

On some base model slushbox Civic.

Firebird on SSRs.
