nope, they're SSRs! similar wheel design, but different companies (SSR, Watanabe, Panasport)...these are the more rare out of all of them in my opinion (especially if they come with the caps like mine do).
no set price because i'm mainly looking for trades.

beats me...but all i know is that there's the stamp on the back of wheels (where it has the width, offset, bolt pattern, and etc) and it says SSR on them. Mr. Japanese Wheel Specialist himself Ralph Jenkins would probably be able to tell us the real deal with these wheels since i got them from him.

Re: FT: 15" SSR RS-8 (SOL Food)
Watanabe marketed these wheels as multi piece Watanabe RS-8 and yes, the stamp is the 3 falcons of the Watanabe logo
RS stands for Racing Service and the 8 signifies not only the number of spokes but then the number of letters in the W-a-t-a-n-a-b-e (RS-Watanabe) brand name and of course they were made by Speed Star Racing

SSR is still around. they are just owned by Tanabe now but then back then SSR was one of the big time Japan makers of multipiece wheels along w/ Enkei and Work..

in other words...more rare than a regular Watanabe or Panasport wheel! holler!
