Period-correct aftermarket wheels of the 1980s have become sought after as people look to dress up their cars with something different from the norm. The truth is, there were some great looking wheel designs back when less than everyone and their mothers were getting wheels cast, chromed and branded for retail. Of course, one of the sticking points with these wheels and today’s tires is that 16″ wheels were BIG. Now, 17″ is what 14″ers used to be back in the day. Smaller tires are getting harder to find, especially in performance brands. Nevertheless, people are going looking for these wheels. Take note of how many are being offered in 13″! Good luck finding tires for those.
