fisch Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I feel like there was a thread about this once before. (Heck I even think I started it, but a search yielded no results.) Does anyone know if they made a panasport/wantanabe/rota rb style rim for the 6X5.5 lug pattern? If they did, what sizes did they come in? Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 there was a company back in the 80's that made a wheel that was very simular, i can not recall the name right now, i will do some diggin around, a couple months back some one posted a picture of a set that they found in a truck in a wrecking yard, never knew the outcome, i had pm'ed him and never got a answer back, but yea they r out there, i believe the size was 15 x 7, and 15 x 8, 6 x 5.5 , machined lips and silver spokes, every one used to use what we called rice bowls to cover the lug nuts. i seem to recall a truck somewhere in our 620 catalog, it is yellow with grafix, it had them on it.:) Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 In the 620 picture gallery thread there is a picture of a yellow with graphics 620 that is running them. Sorry, i dont know what sizes they were available in or who made them.:( Quote Link to comment

motavated Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I think it has the Watanabe sign. I heard that western wheels also made it in this style also. Like this with the panasport style like this. I member seeing them too. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Here is one but the pics dont show... :( http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=9990&highlight=minilite+trucks There was another one I have seen on here that was on the junkyard Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 both of those r the styles i saw in the 80's, n most recently in the wrecking yard pictures, and yes western wheel was the name i was trying to remember, those would be so tight to have..:D paint the spokes to match the truck color, and polish out the rim lip...:D:D:D Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think this is the truck that Dat620 is talking about on the yellow truck Quote Link to comment

dat620 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 that is the truck, the wheels are so freakin cool !!!! i used to drool over that truck, the model in my opinion takes away from the display of the truck.. Quote Link to comment
