Weird ones...

dragsters for life ·

no but now i want a set

11CAB ·

I've only got these two, was wondering what my chances are of finding another two?!?!?

Joel ·

Now there's a flashback

Pretty sure you will find they are Neale wheels.
Used to see the odd set on Carrera bugs.

I'm sure the old Slayer bug from the 80s and early 90s show scene had them too

ugly, u can get in 5x205 also, Mr Bug used to sell em down here. Neale or Dragway🤓

vlad01 ·

wow! empi is right, those are some F'd up looking rims lol

aushardkore ·

They look like a set of weld or dragway mags, with a plate welded in to make em fit a dub' ...

snitz ·

Could even be Cheviot like the armourlites..

donn ·

I've got very similar rims on the wench but they don't have those wierd pieces welded on the back, maybe they are in lieu of spaces, mine are Neils, are those rivet thingies around the perimeter just plastic imitations ?, also mine are a plain rim, no large holes.

They look alright on a mustang

11CAB ·

The piece on the back is part of the casting. The welds look like they've changed the offset.

snitz ·

The ones on the mustang are dragway Indys..

Bizarre ·

the 4 bolt 5 holes is a bit strange

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE ·

Ring Chris Neale from Chris Neale wheel revolution at Slacks Creek as he will know what they are!! After all Neale wheels came from somewhere he would know about lol

nearly all aftermarket mags for other cars are like this, drives me nuts!

you simply can not have a odd pattern mag with 4 studs.
