Does anyone make any old school style 5 lug wheels? I have been looking for some but can't find any. I really like longchamps and hayashi streets or something to that effect. Also, I need them to clear Z brakes. Do such wheels exist?

Almost all of those wheels posted are 4 lug.

I understand that but the purpose of this thread was to see if anyone knew of some old school style wheels in 5 lug.

Pretty much the only "old school" 5 lug rims you'll be able to find nowadays will be 5 lug SSR Reverse/Formula mesh, and 5 lug Enkei 92 mesh. Not much of a good selection for good looking old school 5 lug rims.

Didn't someone have a set of rikens up for sale that were 5 lug? 15x7 with a +17 offset if I remember correctly. That's a pretty nice looking mesh wheel, but other than the ones soreballz mentioned, you're pretty much shit out of luck.

Yeah, that's what I kind of figured but I was hoping that someone would know of some that I did not. Thanks.

the best wheels on planet earth.. well, one of them in my book.

ive always loved these wheels.. problem is they dont clear big brakes, thats the problem with most of these old wheel designs. the BR (black racing) wheels I had were 16x8 and 5x114.3.. fantastic wheels, now my friend carlos is keeping the old school alive.

My Rikens are 5 lug. 16x7, 16x8 stagger. Got them from some dude with a starion. And they clear z brakes with a spacer. (I'm running a 25 mm front spacer)
