We’ve made it to part 4! While the watch list is always full of different wheels, it’s no easy task to narrow down to only 6 examples a week. That being said check out this weeks picks that made the cut!

Number one is a prime example of the Yamako Silverstar Lupus aka the Silverstar II. Made by Enkei, this minty example comes in a very flattering light gold and silver. This set in 14x6J 4H/114.3 +18, sold at auction for 20,500 yen. Not a bad deal for such a clean set.

dspec

Next up is a very cool set of Takechi Project Racing Hart D/Spec Superlative Dish. This rally inspired design doesn’t show up too often, and what makes this particular set even less common is its dual-drilled 5H/4H pattern. Specs are as follows 16x7J 4H-5H/114.3 +35/+48. Quite the setup! This set sold for 45,710 yen.

bilbo

One of my personal favorites is the Pasco Fame Bilbo. This pair in 5H is plain cool, with a distinctive period design, deep slant lips, aged patina, what more could you ask for?! Sized at 14×7.5J 5H/114.3 +4, this pair of Bilbo’s is available here starting at 25,000yen.

watanabe

Plugging away we’ve got a rare model from RS Watanabe, the Falcon Mesh. A seriously neat take on a mesh wheel from the company best known for their 8-spoke wheels. Check out this pair modestly sized in 14×6.5J 4H/114.3 unkown offset here. Starting at 19,800yen these might be worth picking up!

hasemi-s5

Hasemi Sport makes another appearance this week, only this time it’s the S5 Model, again made by SSR.The S5 came in a ton of sizing options with the magnetic locking center cap as well as examples with a standard screw on cap. Although these can still be seen pretty regularly, what makes these stick out is their wild factory specs – 15×9.5J 4H/114.3 -39!! Available on yahoo bidding is set to start at a substantial 120,000yen for the PAIR. Check out the listing here.

pp

To finish up this week we have a very rare mesh model known as the Wood Bell Pole Position. This is an often overlooked vintage wheel that usually doesn’t command a ton of money when and if they do come up for sale. This pair is well sized in 15×7.5J 4H/114.3 +1 and can be seen here.

Weekly Wheel Roundup Pt. 3 https://kyushashoes.com/wwr-3/ Sat, 19 Nov 2016 15:28:10 +0000 http://kyushashoes.com/?p=1735 development

Kicking things off this week is a very cool design from arguably Japan’s most popular wheel brand… Speed Star Racing. Seen under a few different names like the Speeder Aero Development, Speedster Fin, and just Development Fin. As a lonely single, sized at 15×6.5J 4H / 114.3 +20 this would make an awesome display / collectors piece for a starting bid of only 4,000 yen! Check it out here.

hasemi

Following that is another SSR product in collaboration with famed tuner Hasemi Sport. This uncommon model is the S5-2 in a very period correct and staggered 17x8J +31 / 17x9J +37 5H / 114.3. This wheel, like the Hasemi PROT-GT, comes with a red and blue center cap. Unfortunately this set is only pictured with the red (more like fuschia) cap. Check out the listing here.

devil

Next is an iconic kyusha wheel in a pretty uncommon 5 bolt pattern. The Devil Japan Shadow Spoke came in a variety of sizes, and I love how they slightly altered the design for the 5 lug option! The hunt for 5H 3-piece version continues. This minty fresh single in 14×6.5J 5H / 114.3 +9 can be seen here.

acg

AC Courreges via Yamako, has some of the most wild designs out there, and the ACG does not disappoint. Its recognizable pink and powder blue color scheme with flying hearts make this one of the most adorable wheels ever. This super rare wheel is featured in a palm sized 10x4J +40. Check out the full listing here if you think you have what it takes to pull off this look. [edit: this set sold for 49,000円]

migu

Next we have a very cool design that doesn’t always come to mind when thinking of vintage wheels. The Fanica Road Hunter (Migu) Mig Cross. This aggressive set measures in at a staggered 13x7J +3 and 13x8J -11 4H / 110. Unfortunately no center caps are pictured. Take a look at the full listing here.

aim

Lastly a pair that has been taunting me for a few weeks. The SSR Aim is a quirky tri-spoke model that is very seldom seen. This pair is listed in 13×6.5J 4H/ 114.3 +5 and needs a little love to be brought back to life. Not pulling the trigger on these has been quite the challenge. Challenge your own self-control by checking out the listing here as we wrap up part 3 of the WWR!
