Looking at swapping out my stock LX wheels for something different.
Here is my rig for reference:

Thinking I am going to go with SCS; either the:

My question to the 80s crew, what color w
 
I have a black rig as well and was thinking about the bronze method wheels. They have a few styles and are priced pretty good.

I like the method wheels but didn’t see any NV’s that fit an 80. Got a link?
 
F5 or nothing!
 
I like the F5 too. I added that in all colors for the poll

I don't understand? The site is filled with them.
0/4.5
 
I had a little black Datsun 620 that I had lowered and put on steel smoothies that I painted bronze and it looked a m a z i n g.
 
After having too many sets of wheel, I’ll offer this as a “tiebreaker” in the great bronze/gunmetal debate:

If you have a tan interior, go bronze.
If you have grey, go gunmetal.

The finished product seems way more cohesive IMO.

I already threadcrapped the F5 thread with my BBS LM’s - they’re going on a Black (true black respray, not just Diamantschwarz) E30M3 with a black & M-technic cloth interior, so while bronze is cool, deep graphite for my centers/polished lips/black boltheads made more sense.

F5 Gunmetal is my vote!
 
Out of those, the gunmetal ray 10 is what I would go with. To me it seems nearly perfect for your 80. I really did them because they have the holes which somewhat match the curvy lines of an 80 in places. I have been kind of digging the FN Wheels/Konig Six Shooters lately, and thinking about a set of white letter out KM3s on them, but my current stuff still has a ways to go.
 
I'm going for F5's in 17x8.5 in Gunmetal for the new 80 - had the 16"'s on my 40th and really liked them

all good choices - just alot like choices of ice cream....on black I do like the way the Sr8's look for some reason...

here is my blk SR8 for what its worth, on a white cruiser tho...

Beautiful!!! Are the wheels hubcentric or did you have to get them bored out?
 
bronze on black is a sweet combo, but given that you have the grey LX cladding, i think gunmetal would be better. 3-different colors would be a little over the top, IMO.
