Not Racing S as they have 7 spokes. These have 6. They look very similar, but I can't seem to find anything about these. Are they def. Enkei's?

Those are BBR Comp 6's. Enkei was the foundry used to manufacture them, if I'm not mistaken.

They look to be a 1-piece version (also known as a "Euro" version, when Work names some of their classic wheel designs) of the high offset Work Ewings. There was two face designs of the Work Ewings back in the day; one had flat spokes, and the other had convex spokes like yours. Yours are the high offset version, designed more for FWD cars... where as the flat spoke design was more for RWD vehicles (and lower brake caliper clearance).

Looking at those rims, they look like my "Advan ARS Racing Reference" wheels. They are pretty rare, and yeah, very little info on them

I have a set of them!

You're correct. The Comp 6's have a different bolt layout on the barrel. My mistake.

Considering it. Price is right and Id like a 15" option when I swap to 4x114.3 soon.

Thanks for the response! I noticed they were similar to the multi-piece Ewing from the same era, but Google searches are netting nil. I'm mostly trying to find a pic of them mounted...

My Tanabe Precedo's I got them NOS still in the shipping boxes. 16x7, 16x8 +33 1992 vintage. I don't want to put the caps on for fear of losing then but they are super dope.

Anyone know more about these, they look like Work Euroline DH's, but are called Work Lauvec... I'm thinking thats what it was called prior to the Euroline series?

Can I play?

16x8 +34 and 16x7 +33 WedsSport TC-05. 4x100/4x114.3. I believe this is the only pair of 16x8 TC05s in the US in 4x100 and probably any other PCD as well.

I do know that one full set of 8's made it to the states, because I got outbid by someone who imported them.
