Retro Japanese Style Alloys

[JC]

Any good web resource for info on stuff like this:



Really like the style, not sure where to begin researching them though! Also, would like to see more pics of similarly cool cars/wheels! (preferably with names/info)

If you want the modern, cheaper, more accessible version, the Rota BM8 'Shakotan'.

I tried googling but it's hard when you have nothing to go on beyond "cool Japanese retro alloys" Thanks for the info so far, now I just need to see if I can get the in ford fitment or convince my brother to get some (christmas present maybe!)

forum member Ratdat had a nice website, with a page dedicated to cool, old japanese wheels, so you could click through a page full of wheels, most of them named, but the site is not online anymore?

From what I can tell, they're Enkei D202s - 13 x 4.5" There's quite a bit of depth between the outer and inner faces jayom - the photos don't show it very well. but the bolt holes have splined steel inserts which have rotted. A decent machine shop will be able to take them out and tap some new ones in.

Think again. Daihatsus have weird stud patterns; Mazda's rear wheel drive cars used a 4 x 110 stud pattern until the mid-'Eighties I think. Luckyseven will know. When the SA22C went, the FD3 went over to 5 x 114.3mm.

Nowadays the only things that use 4 x 110 are those ATV things scallies use to round up sheep. Daihatsu went over to 4 x 100 on the G100 I think.

As for 4 x 108 wheels, some Compomotive CXs fit on a friend's Cuore, but I wanted a set of wheels that was a: odd b: spot-on PCD-wise.

[luckyseven]

Yeah, early Mazdas used 4x110. Till the second series of RX-7, in fact. It's most annoying because decent wheels in that PCD are rarer than unicorn dung! Series 3 RX-7 (like mine) are 4x114.3 and from the Series 4 onward (the one that looks like a Porsche 944) they were 5x114.3. Mazda love to change things just for the sake of it...

Yes, Mazda are mental. That's why they're wonderful.

The HiJet is 4x110 too.
