Default comprehensive list of desmond regamaster knock offs ...what wheels do I have?

The VW forums haven't been much help, all they know about are BBS.

I foolishly picked up a set of used rims and didn't notice one was bent. I need a new one. Here's what they look like:

I know there's a lot of brands making this style of wheel, and I've had no luck figuring out which brand mine are.

I figure this is something honda guys would be way more familiar with. any ideas?

Desmond Regamaster Evo [Desmond is Japanese, mfg'd in Russia]


Spoon SW388 [also Desmond]

Drag DR-23
Nippon Racing F-2 [OBX?]
Flik Blast C ?
Speedy ?

Mine aren't nippon f-2, and I would venture a guess yours might not be either: look at the valve stem area. on the sparktec site you can clearly see the flat spot where the valve stem is, yet your wheel and mine don't have that. Our valve stem area looks like the spoon one.

this logo looks to be shaped like the red N in the old Nippon Logo

Just for clarification, I do not own the wheels in the picture. I took the picture from a build thread where the user had images of his Nippon F-2 boxes and those wheels pictured on the car.

ah actually thats more like an R or a B, but definitely not an N. I would guess something to do with lot number or that kinda stuff.

Actually, that logo looks like a large "n" wrapped around a smaller "i" to me.
