What rim is this ?

Postby xmx106 » Fri Jun 10, 2011 12:22 pm

Can anyone identify these rims, this picture was copied from the UK MX5 OC forum years ago and just found it again, liked the look of the rim, but have never seen them around.

to many spokes for me, :lol: it would be a pain in the butt to try and clean in between them. But they do look nice :D

Cleaning wheels is always a chore, even with a propper cleaning brush, very much neglected i would think by most of us.
Attached a better cropped picture, can't make out the badge / logo on the hub cover caps even with the original picture blown up on my computer.

Logo looks like the Mazda wings logo that is 3/4 upside down, but since the colour doesnt match, they might have just bought an aftermarket cap or sticker.
They look similar to wheels that come on the Eunos 600 and 800, but since the photo is from the UK, then (if it's not aftermarket) it may be from a completely different car manufacturer that has the same stud pattern.
At a guess, they look very German or Italian.
