Mid 80's you had some 50/50 crossover sets that ran alloy hubbed rear and plastic fronts.
They're early plastic hub Skyways - Mid 80s, does the rear have the pronounced silver hub?
i dont think that skyway ever stopped producing black and white matethey were looseball up to at least 2004. have a look at the spokes as they put a little date stamp on them somewhere ( think its a little circle with a year ) i have looseball sets made in 01 and 04they re released coloured in 2006 sealed bearingif they havent got a date stamp then they could be from very late 85 or 86 when the plastic rear hubs started appearing
No wonder they're so bright!!!Naughty for the seller of the wheels to say that he'd had them for "years" unless by that he meant more than one...
yep its a tell sign if they are used and advertised as early and being very white then check the spokes for datesmost people i have spoken too didnt realise they were dated from at least 2001and being looseball up to at least 2004 as well its easy to buy these thinking they are mid 80'seven the sellers probably think they are mid 80's too
Stick em on the bay as loose ball - you're not lying
