waimaks Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I purchased a set of wheels this weekend, superlite style, no obvious markings or brandings but subaru centrecaps. 13-(I'm guessing 5.5-6ish) There are some on the wheels page but they're slightly different so I'd thought I'd chuck these up, they don't use the normal tapered wheel nut either.

waimaks Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 So I got these all mounted up finally a few months back. Then I was lucky enough to be able to purhase these. 13x5.5 again. Looking to get some lower profile tyres on them. It will mess up the gearing, but with a slight suspension drop, awesomeness should result.... [/bRAG] Also, random fact for the books. these alloys have a bit more offset than the factory steels, which accentuates the fact the track on the front wheels is noticeably wider. Eg, rear wheels tuck under the guards, front wheels are directly flush, if not sticking out. Looks like a fwd drag car from the right/wrong angles....

Leeroy Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Nice wheels! The same as mine . Will be going on my coupe some day. They were made by Performance, the same company also makes the Superlite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waimaks Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Finally got these on the car, Haven't got lower profile tyres like I'd hoped, or sorted out the height. It does scrape the exhaust a lot with the headers under the crossmember though so maybe there is good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Very nice car! We don't ever see those! I believe the infamous John Bloom has one similar. The wheels are very unique too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 First off, I want that GSR sooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOooOOOoOooOO bad. Those wheels (both sets) look fantastic on that car. I wish I could get my hands on a set or three of them. How much do they weigh, if you know? Secondly, OH MY GAWD!!! That lifted GLF is nuts! Sweetest looking subaru I have seen yet, imho. Why did that guy have to disappear? He was super creative and really pushed things out of his shop that nobody else in the old school subaru world was doing. Dang.

Yeah that thing is sweet! It's too bad all that stuff happened. He did do some nice work! It's funny I talked to him right before I came to this forum, he told me to come on here. But anyways, he was supposed to hook me up with some motor mounts for my Brat. He said that he would send them out and guess what....he never did. Luckily no money was exchanged! But he seamed really cool and down to earth, and for the 2 hours I talked to him, he had some great ideas about subys. He told me to come to USMB and also told me that he wasn't very popular on here. He had said that he had wronged a lot of people and was slowly trying to make it right. But it's too bad that it went as far as it did:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could get my hands on a set or three of them. How much do they weigh, if you know? US dollar is pretty strong compared to ours these days.. Not very willing to part with the wheels though. And not sure on weight.. Light--ish. Lighter than a steel wheel anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Not sure if you got Enkei brand wheels out there in the superlight style, but the 13x5.5s I have of those weigh 8lbs a piece. I was wondering if the markets that actually had old school subie racing got lighter wheels than we did in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxy Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The first set of wheels are actualy Australian ROH Contessa"S,anyone who looks at australian Mini sites will recognise the style. Enkie Wheels are interesting regarding weight I have owned a set of similar looking but different Works Nissan Enkie wheels in 13 x6.0 JJ off one of the Southern Cross Rally Factory 710 Nissans driven by Harry Kallstrom. I have also owned a set of later Enkie "Compe 8" wheels also in 13x6.0JJ and these weighed 5.5kg and were lighter than the works wheels by roughly 1.5kg. The problem with these nice old school rims out here is the Vultures who scrap them for just a few dollars scrap value,Idiots even common cars such as the GMH Holden Torana GTR or XU! are hard to find rims for even though some of the cars sell for over $120,000 Dollars Australian,so what hope do we have with our old subies,moral save everything.

waimaks Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 I hear you there. I picked up these a few months ago I think they are two piece, So might be handy for fitting some AWESOMELY wide bands. They're 14's also. Haven't had a chance to fit them to anything yet as both my Subaru are parked up at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
