Can't you ask the previous owner what the wheels are?

Looks like RH's to me.



*EDIT* but then again maybe not. The lug area and centercap look slightly different.

They're not Heliums. Heliums have that extra indentation on each spoke. The ones on his silver hatchback look like Racing Hart CP8's in bronze.

its a Racing Hart CP8... the center cap comes with a sticker, and you can either put the sticker on, or leave it off.... but its also very prone to falling off then you wash the wheel....

Easy way to check, if they are real Racing Hart's (I'm thinking the 17" Cp8's are forged) then the word "FORGED" should be stamped somewhere on the inside of the wheel.

I think they are powdercoated Racing Seneka's. They aren't RH, if they are... that isn't the original finish. That look like brown, not bronze.

Probably a company like Nippon Racing or some other Gay type wheel company from South East Asia. I jut really doubt that they are RH, although they look like them, just my $0.02. Are you sre not Seneka's?

I wouldn't care if they are real or knock off. Just weigh them and if they are less than 19lb, I'll be happy.

[EDIT] Less than 40lb with tires. It's OK I guess for 17"s.
