CicliDevotion Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ever since I was a kid in eaely 80's SoCal, I've loved the look of chrome/gold steelies like the Enkei EK32: I still see them occassionally on a Ford Bronco II or Toyota...but VERY rarely in a 6-lug. And then I came across this and I was filled with new hope!: I would LOVE to find something like this for my '84 720. Can anyone identify this style of wheel? Is there a term for them? Any idea of who makes/made them in a 6-lug? Is there ANY possibility of finding a set for my truck?!? The SoCal surf machine NEEDS them: Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I have these (the fronts) on my 521. They're just some crappy tire shop wheels...getting rusty. I'd give them to you for free if I were ready to swap on my better wheels. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 the 6 lug ones you posted are steel not aluminum Quote Link to comment
CicliDevotion Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 That's why I called them "steelies"! LOVE the way they look on your truck! Quote Link to comment
CicliDevotion Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Oh but the Enkei are alloy? Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah, those enkeis are aluminum Quote Link to comment
CicliDevotion Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 @bonvo Any idea who made those? I NEED them!!! Quote Link to comment
WI 720 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 http://madison.craigslist.org/pts/4551118404.html There is a guy here in WI who is selling a "set" though I see just two. For $120 obo. He just posted. They don't have the gold color (but you could paste it). If you are really into them, you could see if the guy would ship them, or I could potentially pick them up and ship them to you. Send me a message if you are interested. Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 My uncles got a set in his garage just chillin. There 14x6, steel wheels, unknown brand (can't find a marking or tag), chrome lips with a faded black center. I'll ask him if he wants to sell them if your willing to come to Vegas and pick them up. I don't think he'd want to deal with shipping them. Not too far from you, about 4 hrs. So pm me if your interested. 1 Quote Link to comment

Twinpilot001 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 well I pulled one off - cant identify it- yet i know i bought these from ="Discount Tire"!! Quote Link to comment
CicliDevotion Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I refuse to give up on these! Quote Link to comment
CicliDevotion Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Someone once posted (in another thread) a link to some all chrome versions of these available from Summit Racing. I'm leaning towards picking up a new chrome set and (possibly) getting them powdercoated. Anyone remember where I might find that link? Or a model name I should try on Summit? I'm getting 7,296 results... Quote Link to comment
CicliDevotion Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Found it: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/usw-94-5760p/overview/ Assuming I buy the all chrome version, is it possible to have just the center section powdercoated? Or am I better off with paint? If the latter, any recommendations on paint? Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think it's possible to have just the centers powder coated. Obviously there's a cost difference but it's really up to you. Quote Link to comment
CicliDevotion Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Are these the correct size and backspace for my 2wd 720? http://m.summitracing.com/parts/usw-97-5760p Quote Link to comment
