Quite the collection. I only learned Yat did the RR thing a few months ago, so it came as a bit of a surprise.

Very nice. Would love to fine the Z, Silvia, and Civic in those versions. That Citroen has a subdued nice tampo too.

I know... Picture isnt the greatest. I have a side view one that will have to do for now but I'll take them out when I have more time and take better picture of each one.

I'll try to remember to get pictures of mine up soon. You have more than I do, but put together, our cars would make for a pretty sweet collection!

I'm just learning this too.

Can someone share the story behind them, how they were originally offered.... were they just mixed in with regular models on the pegs, or maybe some special series, or something?

Thanks,

Is there any significant difference between the grey and black wheel variations ? The few I've seen are mostly grey ?

Muira! :drool:

Those are a good looking wheel on there. Generically sporty, but not too flashy so they fit on different vehicles.

It's hard too see but there's raised lettering on the tires that reads "road tough". It afss a little something. Can you tell I like them :P

Stunning collections. Thanks for the pictures. Holy Grail would be a Dodge Aspen with RR.

Posted ImagePicked this one up Monday at a flea market. Black wheels w/ no raised lettering on the tires. Any ideas ?[img]http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e205/zr1gee/f16d3ab2-9c8d-4943-9b77-82b3dab56199_zpskn9wz3qe.jpg[/img

Do you see a trend guys? All posters who got some but Dean are from Canada. But I think Dean got most of his from a Canadian member :-)
Just sayin...

It would be interesting to see one on the card to find out who the importer was . They might have come in through Canada ?

Canadian Tire? :D

(an attempt at humour but I think they did sell Yatmings on their own card)
