Default Game Time: Name that wheel!

I'm currently looking to buy these wheels from a dude, but he doesn't know what they are. They are true two piece and he said they have CCW in the castings. I looked around at CCW's and couldn't find anything similar except the classics and they just dont seem to match. If it matters they are 5z114.3 (4.5) and are 16x8.



Let me know what you think
thanks

swade

Thats what I was thinking, but look at where the valve stem is located on each wheel. One the original its not in the lip like the bbs examples.

They are not RS or RM or BBS for that matter. If you look at the middle the centers aren't threaded like the BBS RS. The RM's don't come in anything over 15inch. The valve placement is also on the rear halve.

You should check with the guys over at CCW and see if they made wheels that old. There was also a company called California Wheels in LA that made wheels similar to BBS style, but I think they haven't been in business for a while.

To me it looks more like an old volk racing vr/progressive or weds mesh wheel. But you never know without better pictures of the cast stamping.
