Coolest 80s/90s wheels?

Mugen Bitchtocleans

Volans

Dymags were also pretty cool...as seen on the Callaway Sledgehammer.

At one time in the early nineties I was madly in love with Enkei 84s. I still think that they would great on the right car.

OMG you're right! Those look fanatastic on the old gal!

OE wheels from the Sport Quattro.

Wow, somebody really hated detailers at Mugen. Makes my old BBS RSs look easy to clean... but I'm still buying a set for my current Miata.

These, Dragstars and Draglites look SO dated now, IMHO. I think they really cheapen the look of a car.

That said, it looks like Cragar SS's might be having a resurgence in terms of being stylish.

saab may be the only company to ever pull off three spoke rims...

Fellas! Come on! We all know the Japanese won this game a LOOOONG time ago. http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2010/02/17/wednesday-wall-jdm-old-school-wheels-ii/ And now, officially- /thread.

As much of huge SAAB fan as I am, I have to disagree. The SAAB 3 spoke rims were just OK, at best. The best 3 spoke factory rims were on Range Rovers.

That said, with monochrome and the right heartbeat graphics, you'll nail the mid 80s look to a T.

That Isuzu looks great. Everybody probably knows that Volkswagen rejected that Giugiaro Italdesign design for the Series II Scirocco for their own similar but not as nice design.

Those wheels look great on it.

Centerline Champ 500's...usually seen on GM cars.

I felt that way about them back then too.

My favorite 80's aftermarket wheels were the BBS mesh, hands down. Don't like the gold, they look best in silver or gunmetal.

My favorite OE wheel of the era:

Had them on my SE V6 4x4 extended cab. They just looked tough.

I used to love looking at the ads for Tire Rack and Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories in the 80's. I remember seeing the black and white shots of Rial, Ronal, BBS, Episolon, and Enkei wheels. I'm pretty sure that I saw all of them on early RX-7s back then. Before that, the only aftermarket wheels that I knew anything about were Cragars and Keystones.

Automotive perfection

sorta back to the alfa that started all this. The Fiat 124 Spider at the end of it's life received a supercharge in Europe.. with it came some tasty rims

I still need a set of these.

Cheese wheels as seen on Turbo Dodges. These happen to be on a LeBaron, but I think they came on Omni's. I think my dad still has a set in the barn somewhere.

They may have been on early Daytonas too.
