Wheel Identification -

Post by justincase41 » Sun May 18, 2014 7:52 pm

Howdy,
I have these rims that were once fitted to a 86 Suby Wagon I owned once. Can anyone identify what they would have been originally fitted to? They are performance Australia rims, 13 x 5.5 JJ

Guessing that they were made for Subaru, given the look of Sunraysias, yet in alloy. Local manufacturer able to adjust to local needs and demand. Not a bad looking rim!

They look very similar in design to the Performance wheels on my Dads car, except his are polished alloy with a black (enamel?) center circle. They're actually on my sig pic below, not a great pic though. Bought them to go on the MY wagon circa early 80's, transferred over to the L series they stick outside the guards by half a bee's appendage, not enough for cops to notice but enough to give the L a meaner looking stance ;)

Yeah same rims as your Dads SB

Ive seen them on quite a few MY wagons over the years the last set I saw was on an MY touring wagon wreck at Bunbury Auto wreckers about a year ago

I just checked and the diameter of the rims centre hole is smaller than the factory chrome cap.
I just dug up the 4 centre caps that came with the rims as well.

Another look and I notice that odd bit of the pattern is not a hook to hang them up on, but must be for truck like tubeless valve with a right angle in it ?
They'll dresss up nice, even if sand blast the whole thing and do a clear powdercoat finish :)

If your centre caps are anything like ours, they are 100% 1980's grade brittle plastic, coated in some kind of chrome-ish foil, now peeling off in large flakes :( Completely un-usable, they're like a cone-to-oval shape with "Performance" written on the top.
