ATS Wheels, Seller list them as ATS Stars

used to have these on my mk2 golf (back in the 90's).

Been thinkin' about Strippers since posting this. I tend to prefer the standard Kelsey-Hayes Stripper over the Satin Stripper on the Blackhawk.

The Alpine A290 (aka sporty Renault 5 EV) reminded me I really liked the wheels on the original Renault 5 Alpine (aka Renault 5 Gordini)

15" alloys used on early second generation Rangers are handsome.

I'm not sure how I feel about these. Nissan has a special edition Frontier "Hardbody" with wheels that are a nod to those optioned on the D21 pickups and WD21 Pathfinders.

They're larger than the original 15" alloys because modern pickups use larger wheels to accommodate their larger brakes and, I suppose, to better suit modern styling. The original wheels had center caps which had simulated lugs, and I understand the desire to keep the new ones one-piece, but my gripe is that the lugs in the new ones aren't clocked the same. Okay, maybe it's silly.

X100 XK8 "Apollo" alloys.

A very pretty wheel for a very pretty car.
