The Panasport G7-C8R are Old School JDM Wheels that are actually still available today. The Panasport G7-C8R combines the classic Banana Spoke Wheel style with a very nice 3 piece stepped lip construction with exposed hardware for a very attractive wheel. Pictured are the Panasport G7-C8R on a Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC110.
The Eagle Racing Tentas are Old School JDM Wheels which look very close to the Hayashi Perrier Fin; which also look close to the BMW E24 Bottlecap OEM Wheels. The Eagle Racing Tentas feature one piece construction with 19 short fin style spokes. Pictured are the Eagle Racing Tentas on a DR30 Nissan Skyline RS-Turbo DR30.
The Drag Progressive by Fortran Wheels, better known as the DRAG PRO, are JDM Wheels that are best known to be the brother to the Mugen MR-5. The The Drag Progressive is light weight 5 spoke wheel which feature one piece construction. The most noteable feature of the Drag Pros are the locking center cap and individual caps for each lug nut which gives them a very smooth look. Although most popular fitment is 4×100 popular for Honda Civic or Mazda Miata, pictured is a rare 5 lug fitment on a Z32 Nissan 300ZX Fairlady.

The Carving Stark I & Carving Stark II are JDM Wheels which are iconic when it comes to directional wheels. The main difference between the 2 wheels are Carving Stark I have thicker spokes with more of a full face for a aero look and the Carving Stark II have thinner spokes which give it more of a modern cooling look. Both Carving Stark I & Carving Stark II feature 3 piece construction and are manufactured by Work Wheels. Pictured are the Carving Stark II on a Z32 Nissan 300ZX / Nissan Fairlady Z and the Carving Stark I on a Nissan Primera.
The VOLK RACING Gr.A by Rays Engineering is a forged JDM Wheel that was brought to us in 1986. The VOLK RACING Gr.A is a mesh wheel which features 3 piece construction and a covered lug nut center cap system. Pictured here are the VOLK RACING Gr.A mounted to a C10 Nissan Skyline at the Datsun Swap Meet in Eagle Rock, CA. At over 30 years old, the VOLK RACING Gr.A is still a great classic JDM wheel.
The GALE LS636 are one of the classic JDM Wheels to hit the US Market in the 1990’s; back then and even now we just call them GALES. What makes the GALE LS636 a bit different, is they had better distribution than other JDM wheels at the time, which made them more popular. The GALE LS636 features a 10 spoke face with lugnut hidden behind a center ring and hex cap; a popular faux centerlock design very popular at the time. At the time of print, the GALE LS636 were available in sizing up to 16x8j and in 4 different colors. Shown above are the GALE’s mounted on a S13 Nissan Silvia. Now the question is, who has a set of 5×114 GALE’s in 16x8j in Gunmetal?
