daniel_g Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 There is a huge thread somewhere on here with loads of pics of jdm wheels with manufacturer's name etc, you might be able to match your pic to one on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Look like rays gram lights 57c to me, very rare and lightweight! Although not the lightest wheel ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimbo-ep91 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Agreed they do look alot like the rays adam but when u looj close where the wheel stud holes are on the rays they have holes in them where as tge centers on mine are solid, also where tge spokes come into the center of the wheel it dosnt jus end and recess into the center, is smooth and curves in... Might take one to work an wip a tyre off, see if theres anything on the wel of the wheel... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Rays Gramlights 57Cs only have 5 spokes as opposed to the 6 in the pic The Rays would certainly have the Rays foundry stamp inside plus the sticker would be 'Rays' branded and the dimensions on it for such a high profile, readily available series of alloy.Advan RGs are the other jdm alloy that has 6 straight spokes but they have a different shaped end where the spokes meet at the edge. Even the early RGs are very similar.http://www.350z-tech..._racing_rg2.jpgThey look to be a jdm copy of sorts, the 5 and 6 spoke designs are very commonly reproduced and are sometimes different divisions or associates of the original manufacturer. This shows how easily a simple design can be reproduced by a 3rd party company but yours look well used and the jap writing is a dead giveaway - http://shop.microima...W1608.60811.jpgIts like the difference between Spoon alloys, Regamaster Evos and Rota Slipstream, they are the same design (originator or not), different companies.Either way they are a sweet and simple design, can't go wrong with them mate If you know someone who can read Jap they should be able to make out the brand/manufacturers name.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimbo-ep91 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thats the sticker thats on the inside of the wheel, so now gotta find what make they are slowly gettin there cheers for that joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Those markings are just the quality standards and regulations for aftermarket alloys wheels in Japan mate.They won't tell you the brand or make whatsoever besides the fact they were made and branded in Japan My Rays have the VIA marking for example. Welcome mate and good luck!Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
