4 luggers rejoice on this weeks Weekly Wheel Roundup!

Weds Albino Racing aero dish is a wheel that doesn’t pop up often. The aero-inspired saucer style is no doubt iconic when thinking of kyusha wheels, and Weds does it right. Between this color option and white/gold, we’d be hard pressed to pick a preference. This single is sized in 15×6.5J 4H/114.3 +20. Check out the listing here.

Next up another aero style wheel.. the Heroes Racing Super iSpeed! This turbine look-a-like wheel has one of the coolest features and adjustable PCD. No need for dual drilling here, simply flip the lug bearing around and move these from your Nissan to Honda… then back again to your Toyota. Versatility at its best. Listed here in 15×6.5J 4H/ 100-114.3 +20.

The funky four-spooke River Side R-104 is an ultra-rare find at best. Available in black and gold and a variety of sizes. This particular seller has two pair available in both 7J and 7.5J. Hopefully someone get their hands on both pairs and keep these rarities in the family. Sizes are 13x7J +0 / 13×7.5 unknown 4H/114.3. Check them out here and here.

SSR Star Mesh is an early design from Speed Star Racing that we love. These are some of the cleanest samples we’ve come across and look like they haven’t even been mounted. Hidden away in some garage waiting to roll. Complete with centercaps, this pair in 13×7.5J 4H/114.3 with a mystery offset likely in single digits, can be seen here.

The Mugen CF-48 is a wild circuit board looking wheel one can’t help but like. Sets can be found without too much hassle, but the trick usually becomes not breaking the bank to find examples complete with bolt-on aero covers. What makes this set stand out is not only does it have the covers, but the covers are made of carbon fiber. Upon inspection they seem to be a legitimate piece with appropriate patina and wear. Maybe bespoke or extremely limited producution… either way we hope the Mugen experts out there can shed some light on these for us! Check out this complete set here.

Finally an oddball from Kic Ltd. produced buy none other than the kyusha colab king, Speed Star. The model is SWC-R, which stands for Sport Wheel Collection and errr… Racing? This wheel available in white, silver, and red is a very-rare find especially with center caps. This particular set’s faces have faded from red to a bright highlighter orange. FF fitment of 14x6J +38 dual drilled in both 4H/100-114.3 and listed here.

Weekly Wheel Roundup Pt. 1 https://kyushashoes.com/wwr-1/ Sat, 05 Nov 2016 20:21:39 +0000 http://kyushashoes.com/?p=1527 wwr-spalding-message-ii

At Kyusha Shoes we really love the hunt for new and interesting finds. This search often comes with new discoveries, scarcely seen sets and oddball sizes. We want to share with you a weekly collection of rarities that we know you’ll love. Stay tuned each week for this new series to see what we come across and prepare yourself for the first installment of the Weekly Wheel Roundup!

First up is an often unthought of brand when it comes to vintage alloy — Spalding, specifically, the MESSAGE-II model. A seriously cool tri-spoke wheel, complete with centercaps and great condition original stickers. Specs as follows: 14x6J 4H / 114.3 +15.

wwr-southernways-mini-pop

Next is a set not yet in the database here. The Southern Ways Mini-POP. This adorable wheel is featured new in the box in a tiny 10×4.3 4H / 110 +38, perfect for adding some flair to your kei car!

wwr-colin-lehnlec

While vintage 4×114 wheels are quite common the 4×100 pattern can be somewhat more difficult to source. Here we have an amazing set of aero inspired wheels recently refinished. Presumably under the Colin brand model LEHNLEC. While we try and gather more info on these enjoy the images! 14×6 4H / 100 +35.

wwr-hayashi-street-centerlock

Hayashi Streets are one of the most iconic vintage wheels, but also readily available and a dime a dozen on the second hand market. That being said, the seldom seen center lock version is a seriously cool find. While this set has been up for a while it’s still totally worth sharing. STF Centerlock 15×6.5 4H +32.

wwr-sharak-x4

Lastly this newly discovered model of Bridgestone’s Sharak line the X-4. A very neat one-piece wheel that really nailed the old vintage style. Size is 13 6J +10.

We hope you enjoyed the first series of the Weekly Wheel Roundup and to celebrate kickstarting this new series a few bonus finds to follow. Keep a lookout for some serious updates to the database and feel free to share your own discoveries with us. Happy hunting!

Re-Entry Riverge https://kyushashoes.com/riverge/ Tue, 19 Jan 2016 19:56:45 +0000 http://kyushashoes.com/?p=1084 Pasco Fame Riverge

For all wheel fanatics, the Riverge seems to be a favourite.  Most commonly listed as a River Side product though, I’ve often wondered why it looks so different, and takes minimal design cues from other River Side wheels. I wonder why no more.  The Riverge is not actually a product of River Side.

Who knew? Well maybe some of you did.  Some of Japan does, although most Japanese sites simply list the wheel as “Riverge”.  The majority of English language resources, from “For Sale” ads to other “Databases” list it as a River Side product.

So for the first time… I present the Pasco Fame Riverge.

Pasco Fame Riverge 1983

Many thanks to Tanaka-san for sending in these magazine excerpts circa 1982.
