You Sure, the only pics I see of them on steelies are the museum cars. Any pics of them racing or parked back in the day have some kind of aluminum wheels

Found these. Are they what you are talking about. I do also recall seeing somewhere else some wheels you could buy of Ralliart japan that were Enkei rims.

Those wheels are not it. Rallyart really wasnt around like we think of it now days back in the early 80s.

here is one off mitsu site.

The 1984 and below seemed to have used steelies

You would think since Mitsubishi used their Nikon brand as a sponsor there would be a real picture or two out in the world of these events. I guess they did not own Kodak at that time so they had no film for their cameras.

Shaun, you might like this one from Dakar 1985,

That site is pretty cool. So many pajero running. Most were rocking the stock spoked wheels or some a little wider.

This is just awesome.

Getting more and more common these days. Sites don't want you hotlinking to their pics any more. :wink:

I downloaded a number of pictures from there with no issues. You should be able to get them and host them on you server.

yeah I will, I've been using a different computer and im too lazy to go over to the server and download from there.

I think OZ racing dish types will do as these have been commonly seen in Ralliart Rally Pajeros (Montero/Raider/Shogun)
