Would anyone ever be interested in replicas of old school wheels like the Shark Stars, Formula Stars, Advan A3A's, etc.?

Just kinda guaging interest, I have always loved the look of the old skool rims, and thought it would be cool if someone started making replicas of hard to find rims, and in the case of the A3A's, impossible.

aa87 · 03-20-2006, 05:03 PM

If they are strong, wide, good offsetted, well priced, then i dont see why they wouldnt sell.

ai_jo · 03-20-2006, 05:09 PM

old school 5lug would be nice

P4rD0nM3 · 03-20-2006, 09:16 PM

Hey man, if you are going to start that stuff, I'd buy from you...as long as they're rota cheap...lol.

HootAuto · 03-20-2006, 09:32 PM

Yeah, I am thinking about doing it, I'm a fag for old skool rims and I would love some for cheap, maybe some new old skool designs......

Pank · 03-20-2006, 10:45 PM

old school design, new school sizes, and you'll make bank

ayuaddict · 03-20-2006, 10:47 PM

equip 01s and 03s, advan onis, maybe a 15/16x8+ watanabe knock off, since the konig rewinds only come in 15x7

musikjunkie · 03-20-2006, 11:06 PM

many corolla guys would like this deal too if they know about this.. i would get some for the 240 and cressida

HootAuto · 03-20-2006, 11:13 PM

I've got them in the process, let me know anything else you guys would want to see, I'm taking any suggestions......all suggestions

HootAuto · 03-21-2006, 12:08 AM

Hey aa87, you still want an intercooler? Let me know, I'll hook you up with a good price...

kazuo · 03-21-2006, 12:50 AM

this is the exact car combo i'll be having in a few months. PM me abt your cressy, i've got some questions if thats ok

Gnnr · 03-21-2006, 02:58 PM

Keep the weight under 20lbs and you'll be golden.

HootAuto · 03-21-2006, 03:13 PM

they would definately have to be light, what sizes would you guys want??

Rittmeister · 03-21-2006, 03:16 PM

Watanabe replica

16x8, +25 or so, FOUR LUG.

My $.02

musikjunkie · 03-21-2006, 06:45 PM

ssr mk ii and iii's replicas would rock maybe either 15 or 16 but with 8 or bigger as for the width as for offsets it would be nice to have it low like below 20 is good

Ricks15 · 03-21-2006, 07:50 PM

if you guys do somethig similar to the starshark be sure to make some rims white. that ill be sick old school.

HootAuto · 03-21-2006, 08:26 PM

Rick, that's what I'm talkin about! Either way, you guys know anyone with some manufacturing equipment so I can start making this stuff? They will probably be made to order to start, but still not expensive....

ayuaddict · 03-21-2006, 09:07 PM

15+x 8+ less than 10 offset

kazuo · 03-22-2006, 01:01 AM

Wats... meh

you can buy Konig or whatever.

Make SSR MkI-III copies.

At LEAST 8", +20 or lower

8" +20 / 8" +10 / 8" +0
9" +20 / 9" +10 / 9" +0

4x114 and/or 5x114

I'd buy some of the MkIII's FA SHO if you made them in 9" +20.

Just make sure they don't weigh a ton.

EchoOfSilence · 03-22-2006, 01:15 AM

i'd be down for starsharks. hell yeah.

16's or 17's 9" +20 or 8" +10. no tire stretching for me!
4 lug.

hell yes.

what he said plus starsharks.

monkey7 · 03-22-2006, 03:36 AM

I think some old school libras would look crazy.

HootAuto · 03-22-2006, 09:12 AM

Someone already makes some knock off libras, but how about Hayashi's? Anyone fans?

Cronic · 03-22-2006, 09:31 AM

i'd take some hayahis to

Cronic · 03-22-2006, 09:35 AM

Do it or I cut your fukkin head off

seriosly though DO IT get prices asap so i can start saving.

raen419 · 03-22-2006, 10:08 AM

if the weight wasn't too much, i'd be interested.

HootAuto · 03-22-2006, 10:26 AM

I still need to find the equipment to make em, anyone have any suggestions?

*exitspeed* · 03-22-2006, 10:44 AM

I'd be interested in these style wheels with nice offsets. I would suggest making them availible in 2 different sizes and offsets to accomidate the hardcore and then the regular flush. Just a suggestion.

Any idea of price or anything like that?

As fas a equipement goes you'd probably be better off outside contracting something like this then you trying to purchase all the equipment.

TougeNinja · 03-22-2006, 01:55 PM

yea dude, meshies, star sharks, advans, watanabes. everthing plz k thx bye
