They look like slipstreams, don't know what those are though.

They are American Racing wheels, OZ/Fittapaldi use to make a Two/Three piece variant of those without the cap they sort-of resemble Slipstreams.

They look good on EFs btw.

?? Slipstreams? The only similarity is that they're both five spoke wheels.

The base of the spokes (wheel center) are much wider than those of the slipstreams, as well.

It's highly unlikely you'll see Regamaster Euro's on an Integra (considering the sizes they came in). You'll more likely see Regamaster Evo's in Silver, or Regamaster Marquis Promoda's. Those at least came in the right sizes for the Integra.

Either way, those American Racing wheels don't look much like the Regamasters at all. Take off those centercaps and you'll see what I mean. They look more like a Work Ewing without as much attention to detail. To be honest, I think you overpaid for them.

I agree with RADIM, they look like an American Racing wheel or something that would be sold at like sears or pepboys. The only thing that matters about them is what you think they are worth. If they are in good shape and clean up nice ,then I dont think $100 is a bad deal. Its all in what YOU like.

turns out these are the Eagle Alloys 028. they were 4x108 so i didnt get them. the old man said to take them to the local rim repair shop and have the bolt pattern redrilled. fawk that. defeats the purpose of scooping up 100$ rims with half *** tires to avoid dropping 200$ on two 205/40/17 cheap admiral tires at discount.is that even safe to do,redrilling and opening the bolt pattern to take 4x100? i would think your car would wobble or be off balance. any of you cats ever heard of this. just curious at this point. im gonna invest in some cheap twists for now. tired of 17's

Re-drilling is not uncommon. Is it safe just to drill into the existing pattern? Most definitely not. You're better off filling the original pattern with metal, and starting fresh.

Redrilling is safe as long as it's done right and professionally.
It should not make the wheel wobble and if it's off balance... just get it balanced.
