Those haven't existed for over 10 years!!!. They look legit, but that's only the OEM Image that was on the website. I CAN tell you that the only people willing to sell them are NO longer in the U.S. They were either the ones still available overseas (Phillipines, S.Korea, Thailand) or they were beat up. They stopped making them before the whole Counterfeit craze came into play, but you never know. I personally wouldn't at your own peril. But if you're lucky, and they are legit.. you've gotten yourself a piece of history. see if they can give you images other than the standard website photo with today's date on it, or see if you can contact them before giving your money away

HKS, Spoon, Jun, all stopped doing a lot of B-series cam gear and pulley accessories after the big quake, and restructuring of a few Aftermarket automotive "keiretsus".. so buyer beware.

For those that can't see the link, here's the picture being shown

Get something else. Kinda the only thing to do. If you want Cam gears from Japan, get Toda Racing, or Jun. If its because they're purple, you may have to resort to coating another company....carefully

Not sure if they are legit for that. But for "old school" in new condition, expect to be about $300+ for them, if you question the legitimacy of these. Ask for specific pictures and a date card to confirm before giving away your money

Only reason I question them is because I've never seen them before except for a pic on google of a type r in Japan
I was hoping someone on here would recognize them
Dude wants 220 for em in maylasia
