Wheels that EVERYONE had in the "tuner" scene

[Kevykev]

First Konig Tantrums (below) Which i think inspired a slew of other manufacturers to pick up the design. There was the motegi MR7 and the Giovanna whatever???

[Kevykev]

LOL I could name all the wheels posted on the 1st page, Definitely can't forget about the focal F5 - seemed like the finish on those wheels are cheap as hell, kinda like a cheap polish/clearcoat job. They would flake up after months of ownership.



remember the: enkie zenkie and the enkie "gumby" wheels? Unknowns are the the recent version of the tantrum but it seems like they don't have and copycats.

TE-37s are true classic, what about 5 zigen -there's one that is very popular on RWD.

Racing Hart is also a true classic that got a BUNCH of copy cats.

can't forget about the fat fives, si's, hx's, meshes baldes etc etc. oh and the super black steelies.

[JITB]

Racing harts were the SHIT! back in 01-03

Feel free to contribute your make and model of played out wheels. :cheers:dude, the tantrums and MR-7's were the UGLIEST non-chrome alloy wheel designed. Whether it was 1997 or 2007 there is no car in this world that looks good with those wheels on it. The 17" wheel weighs something like 24 or 27 lbs. Completely ridiculous.

This thread is certainly NOT being killed, the bottom line is whether the wheels are "Elite" or not...wait..elite is a wheel company lol. Anyway, it doesn't matter, "TUNER" wheels are "tuner" wheels regardless of price or quality they all got trends started. Keep the pics coming


Nothing like those Konig Toxxins boy, they failed by NOT having a centercap for those wheels. LOL

Here's My Contribution...

My 1997 Sonata had a set of 17 inch chrome Antera 123 rims. The Tires were those loud ass Nitto, 215/40 ZR. I didn't know anything about droping a car until I ran into someone on Barrett back in like 1999 ish. I used to hang with the Civic boys.
