i bought my car over the summer and the previous owner hooked me up with a set of fittipaldi 5 spoke 16in rims...i searched ebay and google and i can barely find any info on these rims...i found out from google they dont make them anymore and they might have been produced by OZ...they are 5 spokes and universal 5 lug rims...they are pretty nice but theyre no BBS or HRE quality...anybody have any info. about these...im goin to put them on as soon as i save some money to replace 2 bald tires

thanks-
will

 

Bought a set of 15" for my 87 GX (CDN) about 12 years ago (14" phone dials were standard). They are called "Fittipaldi Monolithics".

5 spoke, center cover held on with one machine screw, 'Fittipaldi' on one spoke, and 'Fittipaldi' on a black sticker on the center cover...sound familiar?

Were considered better than average at the time, and they are made by OZ, remove the center cover and you'll see 'OZ' embossed near one of the lug nuts.

Machined spoke surface has stood up very well, but the clear coat started to yellow and peel on the edges of the spokes a couple of years ago. I use mine now for my RA1's when I take it on the track.

See if I can post a picture tomorrow.

 

yea those sound really familiar lol...thanks man would be cool to see some pics

 

Pictures as promised.

These are 15" with the 4 bolt pattern for my 87GX.

Those are RAi's I use on the track....so they are supposed to look a little melted!

If you look closely on the close up, you should be able to see OZ embossed near one of the lug nut holes.

I really like the wheels, and make a decent 'pattern' when spinning!

cool!!! actually my rims are a little different ill put up pics and show you if you want when i go back home in 2 weeks

 

are you kidding? We always like to see pics!

 

So you bought the car last summer!

What did you get....what are you going to do with it??

Couple of pix attached with the Fitti's and RA1's in action....how I spent my summer

 

fittapaldis are supposed to be good

lol i think they were a factory option on the 91 civic si, no joke

 

Fittipaldi Fittistars i found on another FC int he junkyard...

 

i've got 3 fittipaldis on one of my parts cars.... i'd either sell those 3 off or just buy one if i found it..

who the hell mismatches wheels?????

 

My friends bro had some real newer style ftti's on his integ at one time, they looked really good.

 

yea i bought the car in july...had to wait almost 2 months to get insured! that was the worst hell my life has ever experienced lol... the cars in my avatar its really clean only had 68k original miles came with agxs, RB header, CAI, and a front strut and tower...right now i have the stock enkeis on but i got yokohama avs on em which i love... ill def show you the fittis when this damn semester is over...they 5 star pattern is a little diff. each spoke has like 2 bars extending toward the outer edge...

 

87cncu...awsome car man...right now my car is my DD, but i want to be able to dip into the 14s with it by next summer and just have an awsome, quick all around rexy

Dorifc3s...so you drift with the Fitti's...they must be good quality if they hold up well for that...they look good by the way

 

update on the rims took a shitty pic with my cell...waitin for the weather to warm up b4 i put em on

 

got these off ebay for $50

 

Figured i'd throw mine in too... picked em up for $80 at a junk yard and got them powdercoated white.

 

yeah, not bad for wheels found on a junkyard FC, bronze just looks hot on dark blue. theyre 16x7 so i use them on the front with good tires, usually Potenzas and the stock gxl 15s in back with crap tires.

 

im curently trying to get the rims of my FC but i dont have the key the previous owner didnt have it either... i need em off
