lmao well the Alfa Romeo wheel that i posted earlier obviously
Nismo LMGT2
Starion wheels
Googled coolest 80s wheels and found these i like quite a bit. IDK what they are.
Trans Am GTA. i've had 2 sets of these for over a decade, that get swapped onto cars as they come and go:
same wheels, different car:
still same wheels, yet another car. this one's still in my garage:
and, finally, the same wheels, on yet another car. which is also out in my garage... they make even junk look classy:
Pick just about any 80's wheel from here:

Ronal Turbo's (a personal favorite):
Or Enkei 92's...or just about every BBS wheel...some TSW wheels were hot 20 years ago...Borbets...AMG Hammer's...Riken's...ROH's...Simmon's...Jongbloed's...Fikse's...

Strosek did some wacky/semi-wacky Porsche tuning in the 90's (like 911s with the same really tiny headlights as this 928) and they also made wheels. These are those and I have to say, they look FLY on that 928. Actually, aside from the tiny headlights, that 928 looks awesome.
I have always been fond of the LTW (light weight) Double spoke rims that BMW put on the M3 of E36 vintage.

Strictly speaking, even though they still sell them today the Cragar S/S is a 1960s wheel - they came out in 1964.
My Ronal Centra T31 wheels (80s). 16x7 +25 5x112.
REAL Racing Wheels 16x9 4x114 (90s?). They're pretty light, too bad they fit on nothing I have.
My wife loved these:
But these basket style wheels were on my GLH:
I also had similar wheels on my GLC:
Those Cragar Supersports were so darned heavy. I put them on a 1966 VW Westfalia bus in the early 70s. You could feel them absorbing energy that should have gone to acceleration, and giving it back under braking. That was on a heavy car with low power and weak brakes. Those wheels work, but not in a good way. They belong on a low rider or something. Certainly not something of mine again.
I put Tacomas on it after, and that made a large improvement.
I have these 15" BBS on my '87 Scirocco. They are hard to clean, unlike the stock Phone Dial rims. I have a lot of stock rims, but they need restoration. [URL=http://s1057.photobucket.com/user/Super-Seven/media/Scirocco/2b01_12.jpg.html][/URL]
