Let's see your vintage aftermarket wheels

Don't these 4runner wheels remind you of Longchamps? Lol.

 

My pal Rickashay rocking his new BridgestoneBergs;

 

So clean! The blue bolts look great with the white face!

 

Anyone know what these are? Style tells me they're old, but I've never seen anything like them except maybe vaguely similar on Mazdas. Correct bolt pattern for my Tacoma.

Picked them up a few months back for a summer set, I aim to have them sand blasted and powder coated to restore their somewhat former glory.

 

Keeping the thread alive.

 

looks very similar to an american racing nitro wheel, but not quite sure they are...

 

Very very close, I just checked them out. The only difference I can see is that the spokes aren't as pronounced on mine, as they are on 16" AR Nitro wheels. I want to say the smaller slots are less triangular as well, mine are quite rounded on the edges. Fantastic eye though, I'm glad I'm getting some leads at the very least.

 

SSR Auswuch with gold faces. 15x7 et-1

 

Another set secured, thanks to @savethewheels

Lodio Drive Cinq, mint center caps incoming as well.

 

I'm still in the process of restoring my Bergs! Pulled them apart, removed old silicon, and now I'm prepping the faces for paint! I still have to polish the lips and remove some road rash on the edges. It's been fun, but I'm dying to mount them on the truck already lol. Gonna print out a new BERG decal for the faces.

 

Generally, how are the weight on these vintage wheels? Similar to an OEM wheel? Heavier? I'm currently making a deal on a set of skinnies and very tempted to pair them with something vintage but don't want to be too surprised by the weight.

 

Idk about other vintage wheels but the Lodios are really light. They are lighter than my flowformed Works and my previous F5s. Not too sure on weight but if I can find a scale I'll let you know

 

I'll weigh one with the tire on next time they're off. But they're 16s and fairly light

 

I weighed my Bergs a while ago and I believe they were about 18.8 lbs with all the nuts and bolts for a 16x8 wheel. The weight is another reason I chose to shell out the money for JDM.

 

Thanks, everyone! This is fantastic news. I was really assuming they'd be heavy. I know my experience with older JDM wheels (sports compacts, not trucks) has been that they are pretty heavy compared to their modern counterparts. I know my old Volk GRN-R were crazy heavy considering they're just an old precursor to the super light CE28.

Some vintage wheels just got a whole lot more tempting. Can I justify raiding the savings account for this? I sure don't want to sell my faux beadlocks in order to fund them. Hmm.

 

If you consider the quality, strength and construction they are actually a really good value, not to mention the fact that you're probably the only one in town with a set of whatever you get.

 

All 4 wheels arrived, center caps are mint.

 

^Those look killer
