Have any better pictures or close-up's of the center caps? They're definitely a Volk CE28 (8-spoke) knock-off. Sad thing is, that there are tons of those. The center cap looks similar to that of Kyowa Racing's center cap, but its very difficult to tell much else. As for the wheel width/offset, you're on your own there. Its impossible to tell from that picture.

PS. Try not to have demanded urgency in your requests. It can lead to poor results. (I'm referring to the "ASAP please" comment made.)

Just a guess but the offset is probably somewhere between +35 and +40.

You are right, they do say kyowa but i dont think they're real kyowa's. could find a kyowa 8 spoke in this color.

They are basically a Rota equivalent. He could have done that red stripe himself, it looks like it doesn't line up in the top right.

Kyowa's are on the bottom end of the knock-off's. They're heavier than Rota or Konig equivalents, and have a far worse reputation for quality.

The name of the picture even states that the wheels were re-painted, as well.
