One of my favourite old school haunts is Screamin’ Wheels, a shop based in Naka-Meguro, Tokyo. You’ll be able to read more about the shop and its owner in the upcoming edition of Rad Rag, but to whet your appetite, here’s a bunch of photos that I took on a visit there the other weekend.

Part 2 of the pics to follow later!

Does this place actually sell stuff?

I like that orange Kuwi. Is it an original? Never seen one in that colour. $:-\$

Looks more like a museum than a shop.
I guess he is kind of living the dream,I often wonder how people make a living out of niche shops like this.
I have always wanted to own a second hand record shop,but I wonder how I would make the consistent money every week that I do in the job I have now.
Great place though would love to visit !!

Got to admit i was getting excited Griff ............. but no old bmx ones

I bet there's a few hidden in that shop though

Clint ...... when you go over make sure you go through all the drawers and boxes

Yeah, they sell stuff both in the shop and online, though you'll need deep pockets for the old school goodies! That Kuwi was a special paintjob to match the owner's car:-

Great pics, looks like a very cool place to visit and spend some large amounts of cash!

Thanks for sharing.

Cool pics, and it looks like a great place. I was wondering if they actually sold stuff, and how they manage to survive. I love places like these

BMX1973 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 14, 2016, 07:51 PM »

Do they have a website?

Great post Mick. It's an amazing looking place. I've sent a few Japanese parts his way in the past. Unfortunately buying from Japan is an expensive business :/

I've just seen these beauties on their instagram page
