++**"Help me identify this wheel!" Thread.**++

found these at the local junkyard they're 16x7 3 piece wheels in 5x108 pattern. There weren't many companies that made 5x108 3 piece wheels, especially in the early 80-90s era besides BBS and American Racing. Anybody have any ideas?

One more thing.. my wheels have 40 bolts, the one above (if i counted correctly) has 44?

[Spookye]

American Racing did make wheels in Japan, but only the ARE mesh wheels as from what I've seen.

Those probably are CW33' as stated before, just with the wrong center cap, or sold in the US by American racing(like MB bought the rights to sell CST Hyper Zero wheels in the US with MB center caps). Just my thoughts though.

Also, the faces look damn near identical.

Thank you for the info.. my main concern is the super star writing on the bolts.. thats why i am pretty confident that they are TRD Alumi-k.. :/ anyways.. thanks for the info, also, what is the value of these wheels?
I have never seen these wheels in europe on sale or smth...

2 Zoo - yeah, looks like.. but shouldn't there be a marking somwhere on th wheel?

The problem is that i cannot find the manufacturer on the wheel..
there is a logo on the cap that says : American Racing, although, the wheels are made in Japan?? they look a lot like WORK EQUIP 05, some of my friends say that this is a 3 piece wheel..
the dimensions of the wheels are 17", 8J, don't know the offset, and the pcd is 4x100

admins, mods, sorry if the thread is in the wrong place, but i couldnt find a proper one..'

thank you in advance

Going by the pictures and Super Star on the bolt, I'd say its the same wheel as ghe one above it.
More CW33

Please excuse me if this is unnecessary or in the wrong section but I'm looking to upgrade to my first set of real wheels. A guy on another forum I'm on has these for sale for $1100 but I haven't been able to find much info on them. Right now they are 18x9.5 +46 5x120.65. Correct bolt pattern but not offset so I would have to buy new barrels and lips. The current lips have curb rash on them? Any reason why I wouldn't be able to sand that out and polish? Am I going to run into any other problems? Thanks for all the help!

Anyone know how much Alpina Softline 2pc go for? no caps, used condition

That is not what this thread is for.
That said, the caps are around $100/each. Hard sell w/o caps.

Help me figure out what these wheels are

Hiyoooooo

So I was junkyard shopping today and came across some wheels I needed to have. First are some gotti 15x7 reps, and the second set I am not sure what they are. No labels, but specs are 16x8 real 3 piece. Back says made in japan, and thats about it.

Any help would be much appreciated!
