Icon4 Need help identifying these rims.


Got a fun game of find that wheel for you guys. If anyone knows what type of rim this is and have any sort of guess as to the sizes of it please let me know. I've been searching hard and have come up with nothin so far.

Those wheels are XXR 002's and most likely they're 16x8 +0 in size/offset. Pretty easy to guess, since they're cheap knock-off's of the classic RS-Watanabe's that became popular about 10 years ago.

They aren't knock offs of RS Watanabe. That would be the Konig rewind/drag fast forward/rota rb.

They're also not 0 offset, otherwise they'd be sticking out a lot farther past the fenders. Probably a 16x8 +20, which still don't fit.

Here's the RS-Watanabe RS-Eight 3-piece version:




And, here's the XXR 002:



They're almost direct knock-off's.


As for the sizing, here's someone running 16x8 +0 XXR 002's on their DA Integra:

Any questions?

I guess if you think the xxr spokes being half the size of the watanabes is a direct copy then ok.

I thought these were knockoffs of GAB wheels.

I would agree with that. I'll retract my second statement, stating that they're RS-Eight's. They're still RS-Watanabe's, though.




However, the spokes aren't "half" the width. Maybe 80% of the size, but not half.

Well they gotta adjust it so they don't get busted for a blatant knockoff

I was referring to the incorrect wheel toyomatt84 posted.

You did just quote my post, so I was aware of who you were referring to. At least I knew the correct manufacturer, and appropriate sizing.

Yeah I cut out most of my post and didn't notice. Ok cool, they are Watanabe knockoffs which I didn't know. I realize I didn't specify they weren't the rs-8.
