Identify these mystery wheels?

[ashfixit]

Does anyone know the manufacturer? My eyes have gone wrong from fruitless hours of image search.

- available as 18" and 19"
- ball seat lug
- two piece construction ( barrel and center )
- ridge on the hub suggests a center cap over the lugs?
- VIA and JWL regulatory stamps for JDM market - but I can't find any foundry mark

what car did they come from?

Looks similar to Racing Hart style with the bolt on cap.

From my 94 - probably a little too much wheel for the stock engine/suspension.

it's not dissimilar to this:

But the spoke count differs, profile of each spoke is more gentle and fastener count at the barrel is different. I've hunted for every picture of Racing Reart wheels i could find.

I'm no expert,but if there are no markings then the wheel may be a chinese ripoff of a brand wheel,it kinda looks like a blitz style wheel,which if real would have a enkie barrel.

I think we have a winner - or at least a photograph and a forum post - : http://www.clublexus.com/forums/the...els-and-brakes-forum/110233-enkei-wheels.html

Thanks! As a coincidence - I replaced them with rpf-1's

without clicking on the CL link, I believe the wheels are made by Enkei.

old school 3 piece enkei phalanx.

 

[Hapa88]

Yeah, Enkei Phalenx

Anyone know where I might find a replacement Enkie Phalanx 18x8 5x114.3 wheel?
