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

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.
