RC10L Wheel Question

Post by HorseNZ »

Bought this mint shelfer 10L from Ebay about a year ago. Does any one know who made the aluminium wheels that came on it? Thanks

Maybe the sticker on the bumper will reveal? I like your car very much! Makes me want to get another pan car! :shock:

The sticker is a red herring. The wheels were made by See's or TMS. Or made by See's and resold by TMS...I'm not positive on their relationship. :?

Those wheels are from See’s and would look beautiful polished up.

Sometimes, a set of wheels totally makes the car. Polish those babies up--it's a bit of elbow-grease but those look decent enough that it shouldn't take too much effort. A set of polished See's wheels is well worth the 'price' of admission. You'll know you're there when you can see the spokes reflected in the tubs. 8)

Very nice job on those polished wheels! I love the BBS style mesh wheels, even on full sized vehicles. I wish I could afford a set of GNX wheels for my GN. Only 1 grand PER wheel! :shock:

Have you checked out Kirban Performance's GNX replica wheels? They're very nice and $1200--for a full set. 8)

Sure thing, I can probably get those measurements this weekend...but they're the same wheel specs as RC10L wheels, I believe.

Hi KidAgain, I got those measurements for you.

Front & rear wheels are both 1-7/8" diameter. Rear wheel width is almost the same, maybe a touch over 1-7/8". Front wheel width is about 1". Hope this helps!
