I'm starting to get regarded as something of a Wheel Fetishist at the Moment, people I work with and friends/ family have noticed wheels appearing from nowhere and spreading untill all available space is consumed like some kind of plague. So I thought I'd start a thread for identification purposes only (read future ebay searches ) I'm particulary keen on JDM stuff as you probably know but anything retro with plenty of Girth is on the Radar for future projects. I'll kick off with a couple of faves Another Chance to post this. These are street fins yes? but who made/makes them? Didn't have the origional to hand but what are these? apart from fantastic (Sorry Hotwire ) I know these are Work equip 01 but I can only find them in 15" new, are they still making 14" ones? Another Work equip wheel 03

^ All on Yahoo Japan...I narrowed the search to only include 14". I got to page 12 (of 89!) before I stopped.

don't 'spose these are available as a 13x7 in ford (4x108/4.25") fitment? would do illegal and unatrual things for something like this on the capper are these cross bolted e21 alpinas, going by the centre cap? scrap that idea, the stud spacings too wide

Sorry mate, finding 4x108 wheels on Yahoo auctions is going to be nigh on impossible. About 90% of the 4 stud retro wheels available on there will be 4x114.3 and the remaining 10% will be made up of 4x100 or 4x110 I'd say.

I'm kind of a fan of period swaps. 15 inch Rover P5b Rostyles with low profiles on a Wolseley 6/110 or a PC Cresta, 4 spoke Laurel alloys on a Triumph 2000, Triumph Stag alloys on a small Datsun etc... and MG Midget 4-spoke Rostyles look suprisingly cool on a Marina!

..and MG Midget 4-spoke Rostyles look suprisingly cool on a Marina! I thought Midgets were 4" PCD or do the Triumph engined ones havre Triumph pattern hubs too? (Marinas are 3.75") I can't think of any 3.75" cars that have Rostyles except those Vitesse wheeltrims...anyone?

are these cross bolted e21 alpinas, going by the centre cap? scrap that idea, the stud spacings too wide I'm guessing these are volk racing/rays engineering wheels in a 4x114 spacing like my brothers, here is a pick of them photoshopped onto his car.
