Let's see your vintage aftermarket wheels

Any leads on 16 inch lodio drive 3 spoke wheels?

 

Anyone know if any of these vintage wheels came in 17's? I'm guessing not likely but figured I'd ask. A little more effort than I'm willing to put in, but could be a fun re-barreling project I suppose.

 

Vintage JDM 6lug wheels are harder to find in 17" versus 16" or 15" but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I have a set of factory SSR 6 lug wheels in 17x8" and have seen a few listed on ebay now and then.

 

Thoughts on these Deerfield’s? I would spend some time rebuilding them however they would still be put to use off road. I’m wondering the load on some of these wheel designs. I have switched over to the GX470 which is bite heavier than the taco.

I've had some ebay saved searches setup but no 17's have popped up... I'll keep watching.

I think those look great! I've wondered about the same thing regarding loads. I assume these older designs are pretty stout but likely heavy by comparison to newer designs.

 

Love the deerfields...crazy thing is there was a set of them in 17" on ebay about a year ago. Seller was willing to take $~800 for them.

 

Anyone got some 16" they'd be interested in selling?

 

not mine:

2 years later I'm still regretting not being able to get this...lol
I will forever regret it.

 

$700 is ridiculous, I’d probably pay double that...

 

i should have bought some of the wheels too, I’m looking for some Berg 5 star.
Even factoring in the cost of a rebuild, I’d rather have something like this versus TE’s.

 

There’s a few Berg 5 stars up on EBay right now. Sad part is the 300 dollar shipping fee. Also not being able to fit 15s makes findings wheels a pain. Footwork motor sports has these pristine king of mad for 1600 https://www.footworkautosport.com/W...d-Large-PCD-3-Piece-Type-Wheel-Set_p_239.html

@LongDistanceTaco A couple of nice sets there, however prices are a little steep. Also, inaccurate or incomplete wheel names on FS items is kinda odd. Lodio Drive ... what model? SSR Speedster??

 

The guy is also super unresponsive on ih8mud. I’d avoid it.

 

I've been successful finding 17" 6 lug wheels on y! Auctions jp.... croooober...... and some IG jdm part importers like lb.wheels

Thats how I picked up my 17" Auswuchs.

You're not going to find them from sites/vendors that sell Methods, Fuel, SCS, etc....

The reason why there's a ton of 15" 6 lug wheels is because those wheels were meant for the times...which were small sized mid-80s pickup trucks.

 

@SUMOTNK there's a set of 17" Auswuch on YAJ right now. Really clean set.

 

Good find @savethewheels !
Hmm....very tempting! 17" auswuchs are as rare as a unicorn. I could use a spare set.....or corner the market on these. Haha

 

Anyone knows if these would fit without spacers?

 

I think the vintage Auswach are gorgeous. Those things look great on anything.
