  • Thursday's Info Video!
    ► This video is presented by SoloWerks Coilovers, and we thank them for helping these videos happen!
    I take you through a tour of my own personal wheel collection, and discuss all things nerdy about having fun with car wheels from the '80s and '90s.
    Part 1 : How to find vintage wheels
    Part 2 : 1 or 2 or 3 piece construction
    Part 3 : PCD ( Pitch Circle Diameter ) - slugs / redrilling / adapters
    Part 4 : Repurposing / making split wheels / banded steels
    Part 5 : World Wide Wheels - Japan, Brazil
    Part 6 : Controversies!
    - Replica / Homage / Fake Splits
    - BBS RS are expensive for a reason
    - Why does anyone even care about BBS RM?
    Today's video is presented by SoloWerks Suspension, who are based in Fresno, California, and part of the KW Suspension family. You can find out more details and purchase their coilover kits here:

    Loved the retro feel of this video. The Harlekin BBS Centercaps are so damn cool! I've been looking for months for a set of CitiSport rims, but now after I've heard all of this, I may go for an aftermarket rim, which is more customizable. Love your collection.

    I totally understand why it's so important for wheels to be original. When I started my project car, I searched high and low for original AMG Monoblock Aero II wheels and I eventually found a set in Cape Town. I didn't want to put anything else on the car because my mind was set on those. I eventually found a second set but of super rare original staggered ones I don't plan on ever selling them.

    Wheels wheels and more wheels. Excellent stuff. Next time you get a chance come to Australia and check out the wheels here. Simmons, Neales, ROH, CSA (makers of the famous "Bathurst Globes"), Dragway, and many more. There's a huge JDM following here too, so you'll find all that stuff as well. And like every enthusiast scene, there's learning which rims go best with which car. Got a VL Commodore? Gotta be the steelies. XY Falcon? Bathurst Globes. Or the incomparable Simmons that goes with anything.
    Beware though - you'll need another shelf for your wall once you see what's here. At the very least you need a set of Bathurst Globes. And a set of Simmons. Always thought the tried and trusted V5s were hard to beat, but you do you.
