Let's see your vintage aftermarket wheels

RAYS Wheels
Texas Rider Lone Star
16x8 +6
6x139.7
Date of Manufacture: 12/12/1997

Another 6-lug multi-piece wheel from RAYS. More rare than the Power Volk's, but probably also less desirable. Possibly due to the bolt head style (smooth/rounded).
With a 6 or 12 point bolt head and straight flange outer lips, rather than the original solid rolled lips, I think these could be really stunning.

 

Had the spare mounted up to see how the end setup will look. Still waiting on the 1.25" bora spacers which will give it just the right amount of poke I like.

 

Looking soo good!

 

SSR Wheels
Auswuch I
16x8.5 -5
PCD 6x139.7

Often referred to as the "King of JDM Off-road Wheels"...


Forged center disk; Made in Japan; 3-piece, welded inner and outer, removable faces.



New style face and fastening hardware; notice it's counterbored into the rear register.


High mounting pad, so clears Tacoma brake calipers.



JWL-T, of course. Chrome not in the greatest condition. Will need to be refinished.

 

Lodios are on! Lots of fender trimming to do but man does this setup look good.

 

First post here. Not sure how the pics will upload. Havent been active on any sort of forum in 10 years...

1996 extra cab 4x4
totally stock + jungle flares

32x11.5 falken rubitrek AT's
Rays Eng. Power Volk 3
15x8 +15
Original stickers inside the barrels read a september 1994 manufacturer date.

Bought 3 days before covid shut the world down. Waited 6 months for the wheels to arrive from osaka japan. Then hand cleaned every bolt, bead blasted and had them powder coated in matte triple bronze. All thats left is to install the original charcoal metallic vinyl lettering on the faces and lips.

Took me a year in total to finally get them and rebuild these in my spare time. Well worth the wait.

 

@Mr.beardedbaby

 

I love old japanese wheels. Also have a set of advan racing dish on my 2nd gen supra, a pair of rays eng meshies and a set of impul hoshino's waiting to be restored... along with a pile of hard to find period correct parts.

 

Whoring out more pics of the Lodio Drive Dagues, really love how they look.

 

Those gold bolts

 

What kind of lug nuts are those? and why did you choose them? They look Great!

 

Thanks! They're Rays duralugs. I had them when I was on Works and didn't want to buy a new set of lugs. Wasnt sure they'd fit the look of the lodios but they ended up working well.

 

Nice! I have the same set on my hundred series LX470

 

@msgs350 @WrecklessAbandon have you gents stumbled in here before?

 

This RAYS model looks like a 6-lug version of the Gr.C / CV Pro. The model name is Power Volk IV, according to the barrel labels. Like the CV Pro, it seems to be missing the centerplates and hexcaps.
This is the first set I've ever seen; a rare wheel indeed.

 

For the peeps that TE all day every day...saw this on my IG feed.

 

Wow, those are pretty beat for what he wants...but I’m sure they will sell for close to what he is asking. #covidtax

 

I just picked a set of these 3-piece Bridgestone Berg-S lll's 16x8 -13!!! I'm super stoked. I'm going to zinc plate the wheel fasteners, polish the lips, and paint the faces black! I want to know what silicone I should use to reseal the wheel.

 

Oh boy, between this thread, and Savethewheels, and Rarespec, there is so much goodness here.
