Reader Matt suggested last week that I do a Theme Tuesday on rare wheels, and I admit it’s a pretty theme idea that I have never tackled.
Rare wheels come in several different forms, low production, out of production, and unique applications and this week’s Theme Tuesday touches on all varieties.
It’s also just a quick skim of the surface until I get some time to really dive in to this topic, expect this theme to boomerang back around in the next few months or so.
Going to start things off with the Messer wheels on Stance East Chad’s MercedesMesser makes a lot of unique wheels (many of which are too extreme for me) and Chad happens to have the only ME-06-3 wheels in North AmericaTime for me to toot my horn a bit, the directional wheels on my car are one of four Mtechnica have madeAt last check they were also the only 18″ models in existence…Luxury Abstract wheels are still owned by a relatively select few and none have the finish that Aidan’s doHe waited a while for these to be cut but it was worth it, now if only the car itself would come back out of the shop…The SSR Defi Fins on Pete’s car are rare, rare, rare, so rare in fact that SSR seemed quite surprised he had a pair when I sent them photosThey are quite aggressive but they suit his EF pretty wellKen has a whole slew of Rare wheels in his collection but these Autocouture Crescent wheels are perhaps my favorite, its such a classic VIP full face styleThese Work VS GS wheels also look quit nice though. No matter what wheels he runs Ken has excellent tasteWeds LXZ wheels are not exactly rare, but seeing them on a minitruck certainly isOn that same note, Billets on a VW? Looks great and I can’t imagine thee are a lot of a Billets of this vintage kicking around in vw fitmentMore billets, these are, as far as I know this set was specifically made for this new, new-BeetleOn a bit of a VW/billet roll here, these HTN wheels on @remux‘s car are the only ones I’ve ever seenJasgjiven’s Carline CM2 wheels are, if I am not mistaken, quite rare, to the point where he might have one of the few (only?) sets in North AmericaGoing to end things off with some ultra rare Campagnolo wheels spotted on a Golf GTI back in 2012These wheels were originally made for ‘ 77 Ferrari 08 GT4 before Rotiform modified them for VW fitmentIt might not look it but my dog Olive is very much impressed

Yeah, that area might be a bit harder for me, but I can give it a shot!
