Ronal, Alpina, Gotti, BBS, anything from the from the '80's that fit our cars.......

 

 

Those are Alpinas, right? What size are they?

 

they are jongbloed wheels, 10x17 and 12x17 but I'm going to buy some narrower outer halves for the fronts

 

TTT, love to see more pics in this post

 

Heres the wheels on my Formula

 

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.

 

Are these it?

 

yup that's them. In the mid late 90's everyone around me had them with color matched centers

 

Jongbloeds are a rare commodity on thirdgens, especially today. How is the clearance with modern, aftermarket brakes?

 

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.

 

Im liking what i see in this thread so far

 

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.

 

This is the ad that got my blood hot when I was a teen. I've never forgotten it.

 

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

 

You were just tryin' to see the reflection off the mylar!

 

how about some old school centerlines with the fake knockoff center caps





sorry about the crappy pics i was drinking when i was polishing the wheels and well after a few hours of polishing and drinking my hands werent the steadiest lol

ahhh heres a better one
this one the front is satin/unpolished and i had just finished polishing the rear



i had to ditch the fake knockoff center caps though luckily they just unscrew form the center cap

 

I had these 17" Cragar S/S's on my car for quite awile !

Those Cragars look great!

 

I really like those.

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.

I think that maybe some of you guys missed the part about '80's vintage wheels.

Carry on.

 

1980s/1990s Cragar style Street Eliminator Slotted Mags 14x9

 

Slotted mags: '60's

Cragars: '60's

Centerlines: '70's


Just sayin'.

 

If I was at home, I could add a few pics of thirdgens on BBS RS wheels. That's a great 80's wheel...

 

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?

 

Twin turbo, those are cold. Love it.

 

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?).

 

honestly they look like cavalier wheels

 

You know what they say about opinions...

 

Here is something I think most GTA and bird fans will love...

17x9.5 Epsilon mesh 3pcs with correct offset for 3rd gen. No spacers like shroom had to use Not sure what I'm gonna put them on

 

In the for sale section

 

Me? Ehhhh... not sure I'm gonna sell them. They are pretty freaking cool. Just trying to figure if I should powder them black, grey, or what? If the price was right, but not sure what someone would pay. I saw shr00m paid $400 back in 06, but I paid more than that, and these don't need spacers. PM me with any advise on pricing...

 

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 agree if ever decide to sell them let me know

 

PM's replied

I'll let you know. I kinda have a list now

I will totally post a bunch of pics for future reference no matter who's car they end up on in the long run.

 

17X9.5 Epsilon Mesh in gold. 5.25 BS for thirdgen fitament

 

that they belong on a cavalier?



or maybe even a bravada?



couldn't resist that one

 

wow, you actually found a set of gottis like i've been looking for, i cant find any for sale, let alone for sale cheap

 

I want a set of these but since I don't hunt ebay, CL, kijiji etc. I probably won't ever find any

 

I know I love them! Yeah, when you find a set they aren't cheap! Heres a better picture of them on the car.

 

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.
