A bold six-spoke design and a sporty seven-spoke version! Lowrider Euro originally meant customizing Euro cars—imports in American terminology—using lowrider techniques.

Both designs were originally sold for lowriders, but new 17- and 18-inch sizes have been released to fit compact sport models as well. The distinctive six-spoke design uses deep sculpting to create a three-dimensional look. The seven-spoke version is a sporty style that fits compact cars.
