Once you go wheel hunting, it is a disease..

Once you go wheel hunting, it is a disease..

I know ,I have a specific model I'm looking for and i'm on Yahoo Japan almost daily

We need a 12 step program No,that doesn't mean it's OK to get 12 sets of wheels! I think I have 1 car and 4 sets of wheels and it seems excessive, started off-loading them on Mikey in Ithaca . He is on a search for the unobtainable Cosmic centercaps, finally gave up and is using my old Turbines for now.
Then the search starts for wheels for the X-1/9, really hard to find cool ones.

I’m digging the light bronze Enkei over blue! They look to be older model, newer model has a bit of ribbing between inner and lip? Regardless, they look great.

Yes they’re the originals Enkei Compe-8 from the late 70s early 80s with good Roadster size of 14x6 ET15, the caps are pretty tall and should fit over fron5 hubs no problems

I was thinking of repainting them and polishing the lips but after cleaning one up and giving it a go with AutoGlym SRP the “patina” on them actually looks pretty good and they’re only original once .
Repaint would make them perfect and I may still do it but for now I think I’ll just clean all 4 and mount some 195/60/14s while I repaint the oem wheels silver and get some whitewalls

Before and after
