i bought these from a friend and both of us dont know what brand they are. someone help?



i ended up repainting them anyways



:]

 

Looks like Jaknife M8 wheels. I'm going by the original color and the way the spokes meet the rims (others would think these would be NSII's).

 

ya definitely not NS II's. it does look like the m8's though. thanks!
any one else got any ideas?

 

The painted center caps look awful. In fact, the previous shot basically looks extremely well taken care of, and then ruined in the second photo.

 

Look kinda like a Borbet design, but i doubt they would use that type a centercap. I saw a set of wheels that looked kinda like these at Password JDM. They were being sold as Sparco wheels but didn't have the same offset as these.

 

the center caps look like my old American racing wheels center caps.

 

What did you do about the 4th cap (not sure if you have it, didn't show in the first pic)?

 

oh when i bought it, he didnt have the 4th center cap

i have a red car and i didnt want rims with a blue lip. i got em really cheap too. its for my beat car anyways until i can afford a new one. just wanted to mess around with it. sorry for making it ugly lol

 

Doesn't duplicolor have the anodized red look paint you could use.

Just re do the lip again in red.

i've used that paint before, it actually works really good as long as you take your time with it,

 

duplicolor spray can? about how much is that ?

 

Probably about 5 bucks per can.

Just make sure you do the proper prep work and it should turn out really well.

Definately! I've had great results with this product. Did some steelie lips, engine bay hardware, and other misc things and i'm nothing but happy with the results.

 

at first i thought damn thats a nice freakin wheel then i saw the second pic and i agree with everyone else in here that anodized paint works awesome, do the lips and centercaps with that stuff and the wheels will look freakin awesome!

 

lol i guess i shoulda got some input from you guys before i painted em. lol. if i wanted to paint the lip, what do you guys suggest i cover the rest of the rim with? tape?

As with anything that needs to be masked when painting, use tape.

 

i would tape the part that meets the lip and use like seran wrap on the rest but thats just me and id sand and polish the **** outta the lips but leave it a little textured so the paint will stick and with the anodized paint itll look clearer and shine a little more
