Old skool wheels

[mantaraman 0]

Anyone know a good wheel that looks retro (like a 8x15 BBS or something)? What do I need to know about correct offsets? I'd like something that will fill the flaring on the arches, but in a 15" wheel with a deep dish. Anyone - new to the scene so forgive what is probably a 'basic' question. :oops:

You could rebuild a set of BBS RM's with wider outer rims

IMO BBS wheels look a bit small in a 15", its the spokes! *braces for the backlash from that comment*

 

if you're after a retro rim try Borbets or Azevs, both do some 'modern' rims and some really nice old school ones too.

 

as for offets, i just bought a set of borbet c's in a 16" et35, I've been told a 5mm spacer should get them to fit nicely in the arches, I 'think' most people say et30 is the ideal.

Not a great picture, but they're a classic retro wheel. Need 16" on a Corrado though i reckon...not sure they were ever made that big (they're not in production any more).

 

There are always the ATS cups as well, they're pretty cool...

rm's with mirror pollished rims and metalic black centres

yeah i think retro wheel suit the corrado better mines got azev as on but one is badly curbed dont know if its fixable might be cheaper to get new wheels any way those refurb places are so expensive! might go for the borbets in 16"

old skool must mean crap then....as i seem to remember weller wheels being sold in "clubby" books along with Tomaz(sp?) scooters :-P

[corradopsi 0]

so what your looking for then, is something along the lines of this

 

[theRuler 0]

they are certainly nicer than wellers.

 

and wolfrace slots

 

the borbet a's are the nicest o/s rims on this thread so far though
