Re: Post pics of '80's vintage aftermarket wheels.

Your post is actually what led me here. They look really good, love to see them refinished. Anyone have pics of Ronal R9s? They used to be all over my neighborhood on camaros and grand nationals growing up, now I cant find them.

I would love to see a set of the 501's or 505's in a modern size on a third gen. They are huge money though.

I was looking at this car as a possible purchase last year. I couldn't figure out what kind of wheels were on it. I don't see those around anymore, but it flashed across my memory a magazine ad for these back in the seventies. I'm pretty certain they are Keystone mags.

This list would not be complete without a set of Keystones LOL! I'm almost 35 and I remember when I was a kid it seemed like half the cars on the raod had keystones on them.

Don't forget Cragar SS wheels. Popular in the 60's and still look good today. Someone should have photos of a 3rdGen with SS wheels

Re: Post pics of '80's vintage aftermarket wheels.

These were popular in the 80s and marketed by different folks. I believe these are called "USA" wheels. They came on all of the Contempo conversions and were 16". That was big for the 80s when they were still selling new cars with 13s.

True but they do they ever go out of style? Especially 14x9's haha. In all seriousness though can you even get anything wider than a 245 width in 14 inch anymore?

Re: Post pics of '80's vintage aftermarket wheels.

I know this is thread is getting old, but in my search for tire recco's, I stumbled in and this is just a cool one that really tweaks the ol' memory bank. Also makes a guy feel pretty old!

Nevertheless, here are some pics of the mags that came on the '87 I just got last fall. No clue who the manufacturer is, but they're definitely nostalgic and TRUE directionals straight out of the '80's. All are 15x7, and the rears are dual bolt pattern (presumably for a Ford 9?).

Re: Post pics of '80's vintage aftermarket wheels.

they are perfect in gold, making them black is the same as destroying them IMO. Gold mesh wheels, nothing better!

Don't have an idea on pricing and doubt my brakes would fit behind them but they sure are awesome wheels

I do hunt ebay, CL, and such, but I had a customer I didn't even know had a thirdgen(scca race car) start talking about my cars, then one thing led to another I traded parts and cash, and got his old wheels.

I did sell these to my buddy in my local club... He has an amazing green 92 GTA, and a TTA, so either car of his that he ends up putting them on will look more appropriate than on either of my cars. Got love for the birds too

I love when that happens. Always leads to the best things. Please post pics when he gets them on a car. Especially if they end up on the TTA.
