Theme Tuesdays: Rare Wheels

3

Reader Matt suggested last week that I do a Theme Tuesday on rare wheels, and I admit it’s a pretty theme idea that I have never tackled.

Rare wheels come in several different forms, low production, out of production, and unique applications and this week’s Theme Tuesday touches on all varieties.

It’s also just a quick skim of the surface until I get some time to really dive in to this topic, expect this theme to boomerang back around in the next few months or so.

Going to start things off with the Messer wheels on Stance East Chad's Mercedes

Messer makes a lot of unique wheels (many of which are too extreme for me) and Chad happens to have the only ME-06-3 wheels in North America

These weds are not rare but to see them on a minitruck? That's a bit rare
