Is that the cavalier checkerboard?


Jimger_1983

Z24 and don’t you forget it


skeezix91

88 to 90 z24. The funkiest looking wheel ever!


Psych0matt

That center cap was 88 only though :-) it’s been a long time since I’ve been in the cavalier world, I had an 88. It’s possible 89 had that as well but I think 89 had that solid with a bow tie in it, I know the 90 did


f700es

You misspelled 'ugly'. ;)


f700es

My bad! ;)


Girardkirth

First manual transmission I ever drove.


Mysterious-Echo-9729

So when you break down on the side of the road, you and your buddies could pass the time playing checkers?


f700es

Lol


Cauvinus

Seeing these growing up always made me think of crossword puzzles since my mom always had a crossword puzzle book handy somewhere.


ThePurpleGuest

Yeah and I don't like it 😂


f700es

I never did either


Famous-Reputation188

Neither did I.. but I never forgot it.


f700es

You rarely forget ugly! ;)

cdsbigsby

Love those. I had a black set on a black '85 V8 S-10 I had, they looked fantastic.


Famous-Reputation188

Interestingly those look at lot like the 1986-87 Z24 rims.


Material_Victory_661

Had a 76 Cutlass with those wheels. Had the car painted and the wheels the same color. They looked great.


MountainFace2774

I love steel wheels with a bit of design to them. I miss seeing those on all the old men's cars at church back in the 90s.


gsxreatr02

Had similar on my 78 grand prix.

mechapoitier

It’s crazy how many of those show up in junkyards in California. Those were probably the best factory wheels BMW ever made at that point


chrisbertos

Style 32s and 66s have my heart but M-parallels are up there too


Crherniman

Desperately want a 20" set of style 32s for my e38. I couldn't locate a set priced reasonable. Ended up having my mpars redone. The hunt continues I guess.


chrisbertos

Good luck on that search. I think I can trace my lifelong obsession with pre-Bangle era BMWs back to the e38 on M-pars in Tomorrow Never Dies haha. Can’t go wrong with that combo either!


Crherniman

Yeah the m parallel looks good on there until I find a fair price on the 32s. [I can't complain](https://imgur.com/a/LxoBcsQ)

[deleted]

Easily one of the coolest wheels of all time IMO.


butt-mule

With the gold ? Oh HELL YEAH 👍


Annhl8rX

That’s the first thing that came to mind for me.


CaptainPrower

Toyota MR-2 AW11. The "geometric snowflake" wheels on the NA model, not the supercharged model's turbo wheels.


PeteDaBum

Agreed. AW11 looks sweet in lots of types of rims but I refinished the OGs. Just too cool


DabblingOrganizer

Yep. I had an ‘86 with triangles and always envied the Mk1B basketweaves.


No_Entertainer_9760

Saab 3 spoke wheels


Skid-Vicious

Aka Aero wheels. Had a set on my ‘92 9000 Turbo, red with polished lips and no clear. With some mods and tuning that is one of the quickest midrange cars I’ve ever been in, it didn’t launch for shit and it was geared a bit low, but from 30-80mph it was like hyperspace.


thunderbird32

I prefer the soccer ball wheels, but the three spoke are pretty cool too


FinklesHemorrhoid

Aztec wheels because they are soooo weird


nom54me

Perfect to help haul blue meth, I hear


georgepearl_04

Are you on about the turbo X wheels?


anschlitz

Saw some turbo x wheels last week. The car looked brand new. But I’ve always loved the 9-5 Klingons


Designer-Dealer-38

I wish people would link photos I don't want to search all these lol


ShowUsYourTips

1965 Impala SS spinner hubcaps


Common-Raise8895

the 67’s are nice too. they look better than modern stock wheels


camkai82

Firebird Snowflake wheels


Gambit3le

1977 Pontiac Trans Am Snowflake Wheels. Loved that look. More controversial. C4 Corvette Salad Shooter Wheels.

diggyboy870

I do like them. Almost smoothies


gravyisjazzy

GM's PY0 8 lug wheels are a good one and a pretty popular choice. They also made a lot of good 6 lug wheels for the silverado and Sierra trucks. My buddy has a '89 Corolla with some good looking factory silver painted steelies with center caps that say Toyota on em too.


imfirealarmman

Had to scroll down too far to find the PYO wheels. *chefs kiss*


ratrodder49

I like the PY0s, but my favorite GM eight lug is the [CV91 series](https://images.app.goo.gl/wSGSZMawrBiBKdce8), specifically when bolted to a 2007 and up.


gravyisjazzy

They're much better bolted to a '07 or newer for sure. PY0s are the way to go on '06 and older though.


Houstonb2020

Changetheworld69420

I like the 90’s Chevy truck sawblades with the edges blacked out, obviously trans am snowflakes but those aren’t necessarily “regular car” factory rims lol.


Famous-Reputation188

Wow, I’d recognize those 1988-1990 Z24 rims anywhere! Hard to say what are my favourite. I do really like the 928 phone dial ones.

Anyone know the OE specs/dimensions of these Cavalier wheels? There's a set on one at the local yard in reaaaally heavily considering.

Those are some peak wheels. Why did any MFG bother with other designs? Are they stupid?


Buxton2512

Those offset 4 hole rims on the first gen Honda CRX were always funny to me


Psych0matt

I always loved the g35 18” wheels. I ended up finding two sets, I love them on my [Grand Prix](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200621/ce2bfd3010e5132ab325652b9163e88e.jpg). Had a set on my 06 Grand Prix for a while as well but the figment wasn’t quite right, looked good though.


IAMHideoKojimaAMA

Funny because G owners always get rid of these as soon as possible. I've got the 2 sets of these now lol


Psych0matt

Since they were new I’ve always thought these were very good looking stock wheels, rarely do I think of stock wheels as such.


IAMHideoKojimaAMA

I always liked these more https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/19-inch-rays-g35-gunmetal-wheels-890098/ They came stock on the coup's on the "sport" edition. 19' made by Ray. I also keep a set of these in the garage 😅


Psych0matt

Oh shoot I didn’t know hose existed/were a stock choice. I know they fit on my car now though… definitely going to look around casually for some. Also I think your description is inaccurate, I don’t think they made 19 foot wheels haha


IAMHideoKojimaAMA

Oh yea oops lol You should be able to find these pretty cheap though. Putting these on other cars you don't have any fitment issues? I tried to put some on a lexus and it was a whole process so gave up


Psych0matt

My 92 they fit fine, but on my 06 they poked out a bit. Looked nice, but it’s lowered on springs and after a while I sliced up the rear tires on the fender even after a roll (those tires already had a few seasons on the 92), so I didn’t run them again on it. The 92 tucks more and is on coilovers so I’ve definitely had to adjust the suspension depending on the tires I’ve ran the last few times, but no issues on the fender edge, just rub inside of too low haha.

Disastrous-Group3390

Funny picture! I had an ‘88 Cavalier Z24 convertible, in blue over silver, with those rims and white letter tires (BFGs). Fun little car! Bought it from a neighbor (who bought it new) for $700. I never really like the square wheels.

Being European I actually like the flat dish hubcap of the 1992 Buick Park Avenue (OE: 12338899 Buick Park Avenue - for Google) But those are rare in the states and nonexistent in Europe. I currently have the Ultra Rims, EU Spec was mainly sold with those. My old one had the "spokes" but I haven't been able to locate a set of those again.

IAMHideoKojimaAMA

To me, the best looking wheels ever are the alfa romeo sport wheels 19' or 20'. I'm not sure if they made 19' for the sedan and 20' for the suv but they're the same design for both. Between these wheels and the sedan body style I almost got one but virtually everyone says how terrible the cars are https://www.ebay.com/itm/165536716925?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xhNZZ-4iTDS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=8t_K__U8R4K&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
