Ukai wheels question....
« on: June 08, 2014, 10:21 PM »
Just made my first purchase on the dreaded Facebook ,a pair of Ukai wheels.
I wanted some gold wheels for a build and these are my first ukais.
However I know nothing about these wheels.
As far as I know they are not speed lines as they are solid in colour with no lines.
They are stamped Ukai 20x1.75 but do not have Ukai decals.
I will clean them up but should I get decals or did these not have them on?

They are known as Ukai Box rims and date from around late 78 - 82 ish but were still used later into the 80's as they are light and strong.

They are the same as Araya 7c's to be honest.

Cool ,box rims rings a bell.
