Default wheel brand....?

Ok, I'm gonna sound real dumb here, but I want to find out what brand a set of wheels are. they are an eight spoke, kind of like panasport or their copies rota rb's, but the spokes are shaped differently. Theres lots of them in the ae86 thread (usually matte silver or grey, sometimes with a polished lip)

again sorry about how vague this is, I haven't tried posting pics yet, maybe this'll have to be the time LOL

Look for stamps on the face of the wheel, near the center of the hub between the lug holes. Most likely, pictures will solve your dilemma quicker than explanation.

Those wheels aren't actually on that car, as that car is Photoshopped.

I may be wrong, but I don't think they ever came stock, especially in a low offset.... They seem to only come in a 114 pattern (as per the site I saw) I know the car is all photochopped to hell as I said when I posted it, still looks nice though.

They never came as a Honda or Toyota option. They're strictly aftermarket.

As for the bolt pattern, they commonly come in 4x114.3, but there are a few people out there that have 4x100 models. To fit on an EK, though, they won't be NEARLY as low of an offset as those in the picture are. They'll look more like this:

Yep I've seen those ones, they actually don't really do much for me as a high offset. They seem to suit low offset really well. Oh well, for that price I'll stick to RB's. I'm gonna post something in the RB thead about their lip though.... It seems like they have a straight flat lip even in 8", no step....which kind of looks like straight ***** to me (usually)
