Saw these in the Wheel thread and remembered seeing them when they first came out.

I believe they were made by Enkei.  Would love to have them in styrene or resin.

That is probably the longest (and non-working) URL I have seen here. :blink:

Looks like Monty tried to copy it from Outlook and failed.  He can probably see it just fine on his device.

I'm guessing you mean the rims on Billsj black car as they were the only enkei rims i saw on the thread. If aoshima dont do them as a wheel set look at the hasegawa tuner kits of 70s and 80s japanese cars. They will be available in 3d also. Enkei or rota wheels seem to be the most common rims but given how popular they are with tuners thats not a surprise. I'm sure i've seen those rims in a 80s civic kit though.

No way I'm clicking on that WOT...

I’m curious what “mess” you guys are seeing.  I did steal the pic directly from the “Wheels” thread, but all I currently see is a little blue box with a question mark inside.

And yes, they’re the wheels on the black Grand Prix.

These look pretty close Monty. Don't know if they're close enough though.

Problem is this pic is from an NNL 15 years ago so no idea where they came from , , but at least you know there's something out there.

The ones on the little red car are pretty close except for the flat spokes. I actually had someone on the forum volunteer to put in the effort to design, and 3D print them, after sharing very specific dimensions. I asked for only the wheels centers, as I machine my own hoops from aluminum tubing. Here is a photo of the prints he made for me.

I was thinking they looked very "Mercedes", Les. I'd love to build a lowered G-Wagon with those wheels. 👍
