New Old Scool reproduction rims

[Apolan]

at that price you can than start considering hayashi streets, various SSR rims and watanabes..

rota seems like a bang for buck deal, and they are pretty light(ish) too.

HOLY SMOKE!! What the hell are those rims in the pic?? they look like those BRAID rims but with a mega - offset and huge dish...me likey long time!

also, if they are BBS Renn sports (which i doubt) well then where can i get them?

If NoHachi sais they are BBS Renn Sport then they are BBS Renn Sport :wink:

The old-style "weavebasket" Rennsport is pretty difficult to find anymore - occasionally some sets can be seen in ebay.de but usually not with 4x114.3 PCD so they'd need special spacers for changing the PCD. Here's an example;

The later style BBS RS with a "fake single nut" centre cover from late 80s is more readily available as they were popular in E30-body BMWs. Again, they're rarely (if ever) found in 4x114.3;

The nice thing with the Rennsport/RS is that they're actual forged 3-piece designs and you can separate the inside and outside parts of the rim, as well as the centre and rebuild each wheel with the offset and width you want. See the pics in these for illustration;

Firehawk is correct..
I have seen sets of these go for big amounts of money.. If you're patient enough, sometimes even 114.3 examples come up for sale..usually a lot cheaper then their 4x100 counterparts.
Finally, i have seen the centers of old scool wheels come up for sale too. These usually sell pretty cheap..even the classis pirelli and RennSport centers. Just have to find some inside and outside wheelparts to suit.

HTN Herbs sells wheelcenters etc that kinda copy the old style rims:

Didnt wanna open a new topic just to paste this pic so.. (btw theese rims are discontinued as far as i know). They are ATS something... does anybody know if they came in 114x4?




they are too cool!

[NoHachi]

Those look like the OEM capri rims that the later generations had (or some other oldscool ford). Best bet for 114.3 rims would be the Advan A3A copies of these (though those do not have this concave surface).



They're 4x110..might just fit on 4x114 hubs with some slight persuasion.

Damir, Ford is 4x108

[NoHachi]

Ah, thats right.
Some serious persuasion then
