Spotted this VG today and I'm really digging those wheels.. Anybody recognize them?

 

Aren't they stock later gen SE wheels? the 17's

or maybe altima coupe wheels, I can't find a pic though

 

They're most definitely not any generation of Maxima wheel. I really dont think theyre any Nissan wheel either. They look alot like the Mini Cooper S wheels but with a few less spokes

 

murano wheels

 

They're not Murano wheels either. I guess the angle of the pic isn't helping. Like I said, they look similar to the Mini wheels I poster but with 6 spokes instead of 8. They're very Euro tuner-ish

 

what are you driving James?..I like the wood grain door.

 

'79 Civic

 

there old school aftermarket wheels see them in jersey

 

I love your honda! I have a 1980 accord, but sorry cant help with the rims.

 

 

Is that you Hectic?

 

2nd gen Civic or first gen Prelude?

 

Yeah that's me in an '82 Civic in '86

 

Lol awesome! I was thinking to myself you have a very vintage looking kid

 

Vintage looking kid LMAO!

 

Look at that lil thing Go! I love that lil car for some strange reason.
I like classic Japanese cars for some reason. Maybe its because you can't find any anymore. If you do they're usually in horrible shape.

 

They look like wheels off of a land rover freelander

 

looks like we have a winner


and james is that a VG with the wrong taillight center or a VE with the wrong outer taillights

 

I believe those are the right trunk center and tail lights. To me, it looks like the trunk is warped or not shut all the way and so the lines between the trunk and tail lights are thrown off. Not a big surprise, just a glance at the car and it is clear this person spends more on the rims than anything else.....overall, the car looks rough to me.

 

Yeah I love it too. It looks awesome and it's soooo little. It's quick too. It hangs literally neck and neck with my blue VE

Wow you're right! Maximan's pic confirms it!

Good question.. I hadnt noticed when i saw the car but youre right about the VE trunk reflector. It had a VG grille on it. I should have looked at the dash

 

I don't have any kids, but I do have a rather vintage looking brain child..

That is a perty nice old school Civic there. Original paint?

 

Yeah, it's the original paint. The paint is actually in pretty good shape except it looks like the previous owner tried to wax it at one point and let the wax bake in the sun. The whole roof and top of the hood is covered in old wax film that won't come off. Well, that and the primer spot on the passenger side. The car is a California car though so overall it was in good shape. And then of course we had to swap a d16z6 in it. A real beast of an engine for such a little car

 

and james is that a VG with the wrong taillight center or a VE with the wrong outer taillights[/quote]

if you look close enough that is a vg with a ve trunk center. pay attention to the old school door mirrors and the fact that it says nissan maxima in the lower gray portion of the trunk center instead of on a vg black (instead of ve smoked red) upper section of the trunk eliminating and alignment (trunk open) issue

 

oops i messed up the quote box......ahhh well lol

 

Yeah I was trying to figure it out myself.....The wheel look like some ole school ROTA's

 

Cadillac Catera wheels I think............................................. .....?

 

CMax.. are you talking about the wheels in my first post or on the '79 Civic?

Scribb99/Maximan figured out they're the Freelander wheels... which I can most definitely confirm are correct. The picture from Maximan clinched it

The wheels on the Civic are newer Si wheels (required 4x100 hub conversion)
