Time for the second installment of our Weekly Wheel Roundup and luckily the finds did not disappoint! Let jump right into it – Enjoy!

Bell Racing making another appearance only this time in the extremely rare BRA-104 model. This 4 piece set was sized at 13x6J 4H / 114.3 +15 and sold on yahoo auctions for only 15,500 yen. Not bad for such a hard to find set!

spirit33

Next up is the Work Spirit 33, another extremely rare wheel. This set looked to be in great shape, featuring a cool red and polished finish, and even came complete with caps! Sizing was 14x7J 4H / 114.3, and I say was, because this set sold for a respectable 52,809 yen.

enkeirolling

Enkei has such a wide variety of wheel models that few really stand out, but one that is certainly unique is the Enkei AP Rolling. A simple dish style with inset accent lines and an octagonal center bore really defines the AP Rolling. [edit: This set, in the most average size of all (14x6J 4H / 114.3 +15) went through auction a couple of times with a starting price of 23,990円, but never got any action.]

liebe

There is something incredibly compelling about tri-spoke wheels that you either seem to love or hate. You better believe we love these tri-spoke FJ Liebe Turbos. This particular pair in 13x7J 4H / 114.3 +0, has slightly different markings on the face than other examples we’ve seen before.  Instead of seeing “FJ LIEBE” see only “LIEBE”. Everything else looks identical though, including that awesome slant lip. Only one day left on the auction we will be keeping an eye on these to see where the hammer falls on the price. Check them out here. [edit: this pair sold for 6,000円]

ssr_ss01_1

Check out these rare Super Star SS-01 in 14x6J 4H / 114.3 +18! This set, complete with centercaps, definitely has seen its fair share of corrosion. But it looks like some lucky buyer was able to see past the surface and snag this set for only 19,800 yen.  At that price… do you refinish? Or maybe run as is??

lesco

To finish up this week we have a collaboration from well-known Work, and not so well-known Lesco. The listing features both a pair of Hayashi Techno TRV and a pair of the very rare Lesco Pulse 1.  Size seems to be 14×6.5J 4H/ 114.3 unknown offset. Recently listed here. [edit: this set sold for 50,000円]

Let’s see what pops up next week!

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!
