Please help identify these wheels

Postby david_syd_au » Wed Feb 26, 2014 4:05 pm

I have a set of these wheels that have been in storage for a while.
On the rear of the hub are the markings:
Japan
ET.40
15x6 1/2
07|97

So I gather they are 15x6.5, have an 40mm offset, and were made in Japan in the 7th week of 1997 ?

Can anyone help identify the maker or model, or any other information please ?

Speedy Wheels also made the exact type/design of wheel around that year. I remember as they were quite popular on Lancers etc back in the Hot 4's days. Unless they were replicas of another JDM wheel.

Not sure whether they would of been made in Japan though, as I always thought Speedy Wheels were an Australian owned company (unless they manufactured them overseas).

Unknown Jap sparco reps. Give them a weigh to see what sort of quality they are. If you are under 6kg then you're laughing.
