[rsdeo]

Just a few...

hey some of those are really really nice!!!

[Superium]

Nice selection but still $2k+ for a set of 17s.

[Greg G]

Raj... a couple of them look exactly like compomotives... whats the deal with this Image Company?

[rsdeo]

Greg. Sorry, I have no idea. They are only 20 minutes away from each other and not far from where I grew up as a child. Next trip I make back home I'll be visiting both.

It's cool that they make the same wheels with exposed lugs or covered lugs.

These are HOTT!

[BillyM]

Compomotive knockoff?

[Andrew]

Billy,
Pretty similar to the CNX17..

[kdsii]

Compomotive knockoff?


Or just rebadged?

If they are just down they road, they might have a distribution agreement.

[Malloy]

If you look closely at Compos offerings, it appears as if this is a totally different range of wheels. Even the CXN style mesh is a bit different. Compo does private label work, so they may be the manufacturer. Its probably the worst center cap logo ever, but that can be handled ;)

Awesome find Raj, I don't think anyone has seen these wheels on this forum. I really like this: 18", 4 lug, stepped lip. No one else offers that combo in that style. DAVE, I think Raj found your next wheel company ;)

Besides shipping, the other PITA would be choosing which wheels since they base the price off size/width, not style or bolt pattern, and they have quite a few nice wheels that can be had.

[rsdeo]

I have known about this company for a while. Don't know why I never posted them before? More designs than Compomotive. They make cast and billet wheels, 2pce and 3 pce.

Look closely, but there are differences.

Stepped lips are a lot stronger than flat lips. Too many nice styles to choose from. I don't know why, but I really like these.

[Supra GTR]

My name is James, and I approve this thread!

I think I might have even found my next set of wheels for my mkiv. :naughty:

Great find Raj!

[83CelWA]

I am fond of the meshies (there are a few though), or these since I have a thing for the 5 star rims:

[Malloy]

Raj, I like those too. The directional wheels could look badass on a race car.

[Chris Sullins(STIX)]

Oh my!! Gotta get me a set of these for sure!..

[Malloy]

This is a great old school looking wheel...not sure how a 4 stud would look

I'm in love...

These, black, on a silver car...

[Malloy]

I thought my 2nd set of wheels would be from CCW....this company may change my mind ;)

[rsdeo]

Lancia Stratos wheels, Mike. I think these are very very hot, but largest diameter available is only 16". Another reason to go 5 bolt, still more and better wheel selection.

When I eventually go back I will try to bring back a set of wheels with me. 18x8.5+6 and 18x9.5+0.

[Malloy]

Yessir, I've always LOVED those wheels. However, a 1pc concave would look even better. (like you linked) Many folks here are fine with 16s...Carlos, you and Dave are the 18s fans ;)

ps. Carlos, where are pix??!!! :0

Just have the whole wheel painted, lip and all.

Far more tyre selection with respect to widths and aspect ratio in 18" diameter than 17".

[Black_83]

I am absolutely in love with these two. Either in gold or black obviousely on a black car.

Call me boring for always picking the same wheel style but these badboys are for me:

[Muchbzy]

This is a copy of the Hilbrands (sp) that came on the 427 Cobras right? Nice wheel but I would have to see what they look like on a Supra.

agreed

Those Halibrands are cool, but theyre 15-20 years off the mark style-wise. They came on the scene approx 1964-65.

Why not just run Baby Moons or Crager 5-slots.

(black centers)

Yes Bry... those wld look hot-2-death with black centers on your car.

GB or not.... DO IT playa!!!

[one2spooku]

Maybe a replacement for the Simmons FRs I wanted

[Uncle Bob]

At a UK car show i was at this year, a guy had a set of 17" Image alloys, he went for the 3 piece wheel to get the correct offset.....

Ave: black hoops too?

[rsdeo]

To bring up an old thread, it looks like the exchange rate is changing and the GBP is dropping. Cheaper wheels.

1GBP=1.50312USD
1GBP=1.55040CAD

[Daves2JZGTE]

$2500 + shipping and coating lets just say ~ $3000 for two 17x8.5 and two 18x10

Thats about on par with most good wheels out........ Looks @ credit card:nono: Soon but not yet

[Tire Shredder]
