I'm willing to bet Don Malison would either know or be able to find out.

I'll guess Enkei judging by the sticker on the car. shrug

Enkei or TSW. shrug

They look heavy and almost ugly, IMO.

 

[SHO92]

That is Gary Morells car, send him a PM. I always liked the way they looked too.

 

[Chris Benvie]

Ugly? How the **** are those wheels ugly?

If you really think they're ugly than thats great, I wasn't asking if they were ugly or not i was asking where could I get them. They will look gorgeous wrapped in some kumhos on my car, and thats all that matters.


They look incredibly good, they have a different look to them. I am usually one for a more euro-dished wheel, but when i saw them, I couldn't help but like them and now i want them

Is gary Gary M??

I think that's him... shrug I like the look of those rims. They are weird looking though, but in a good way.

Exactly, i like things that look different, but with some taste

The car sticker should give it away and if you look close enough you can almost see the Enkei symbol in the middle of that wheel.

Good luck Chris!

FWIW, I think that the stickers on the car are sponsors for the One Lap of America, not sponsors for the car.

Mine is lowered 2 inches, that car needs it yes.


Prolly can't find em, but still want em, even if i can find them trashed or something I can get em fixed

Yep, that's my SHO.

Those are MOMO Mirage, 17 X 7.5, cast Aluminum. I bought them in early 1995. This style was going discontinued when I found this set in a warehouse in Phoenix. MOMO had an 18 X 8.5" version of this wheel in cast Magnesium, but it was righteously expensive and damn rare on this side of the Atlantic.

I still run these on the street, they've got acres of brake clearance and are about 22 pounds, which isn't bad for a 1995 vintage cast Aluminum 17" wheel.

Enkei was a primary One Lap sponsor, you had to run their decals no matter what wheel you used.

Gary, thank you for replying, would you be willing to sell them since i can't get them anymore?

Chris,

I appreciate that you like the MOMO's, but if I sold them to you for reasonable $, considering they're near 10 years old, I'd need to replace them to have some street wheels, and it would be a net loss for me.

 

[stevetatro]

I figure everyone's entitled to an opinion. That's what makes America so great, right? As long as you don't harm others you can say whatever you want.

Holy cow, I think those wheels are ugly!

I think I saw a set of hubcaps at Wal-Mart that looked like those!

To each his own beer
