Hasemi Wheels

Post by saifa »

Does Anyone have any pics of a 510 running Hasemi wheels similar to these? I absolutely love these wheels and am interested in purchasing but i'd like to see how they would look.

WAY too much graphics for my taste, but that aside, nice wheels...don't think they'd look right on a 510 though.
They look kind of like wheels i have seen on Subaru (?) rally cars.

Defdes, I think you mean Mitsubishi rally cars...that's what they remind me of. I actually think that they might look kinda cool on a 510. Definitely something different from the norm.

Those look a lot like the Compomotive wheels and the Ronal R10's (I think)

You guys are young, those wheels make me think of the old IMSA Porsches:

Sorry no pics of them on a 510.

Well, when I think of IMSA Porsches, I think of those same wheels but with BBS spokes painted on the wheel covers...

Similar to the Ronal Turbo, but the Hasemi stuff is much fancier.

One of the San Diego 510 owners has the Ronal wheels on his burgundy 510. I'm sure you could sift through the various years of Shasta photos and find it.

I think that is Ben Pila you are speaking of - here is a video of him at Shasta.

Thanks, James. I had "Ben" in my head, but couldn't pull the last name for all the cobwebs.

To futher derail, I'll post a picture of Ben's 510 with Ronals:

I'm a fan of the wheels with "big dish" and "little spoke" style designs. I think they're fitting for any older car. Picture of my wagon with Hayashi Racing Talon's (15x7 -12):

195/50s is what people usually run. Some 205s can foul on a stock-bodied car.
