sdutton007 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I am having a bit of a clearout of wheels and have a couple of sets that I can't identify - I have checked the JDM wheel ID thread on here, but no luck Could anybody please identify the following wheels - also, a rough valuation would be greatly appreciated ;) 1: 5-Spoke "Cinala" - Identified as 'Enkei Circlaz' I can't read the logo on these - but they are the one's off Gaz's Blue EP85 if that helps at all.... And I'm not sure why PhotoBucket is displaying the images rotated the wrong way either lol 2: Unknown Team Dynamics (These ones are probably easy) - Identified as 'Monza R' 3: "Heroes Racing" Split Rims with "Super Aspire R" Centre Caps The inside of the wheels say "Heroes Racing" and the centre caps say "Super Aspire R" but searching for these on Google is proving impossible - I can find other Heroes Racing wheels but not these 4: Unknown 5-Spokes - Identified as 'Watanabe RS8 Speedstars' Edited April 1, 2014 by sdutton007 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Come on dude the 2nd ones are clearly team dynamic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdutton007 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Come on dude the 2nd ones are clearly team dynamic Yes lol, but I can't find what model they are... I've checked the Team Dynamics website but can't find a match The closest is probably 'Pro Race 1' but the centres are different :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Enkei RP01 alloy wheel replica's with Cinda centre caps, is my guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) RP01's replicas ^, missing the 'Enkei' angraved on the spoke, hence why I think their replicas Real ones have 'Enkei' in raised writing on one spoke, they'd also have it printed on the inside of the rim.

Thanks for the reply. However, the spokes on these don't start out as wide as my unknown black alloys... If only Google Images was advanced enough to identify wheels lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 that could be down to size difference mate. I.E 17" compared to 14".. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdutton007 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 that could be down to size difference mate. I.E 17" compared to 14".. I don't believe so... the unknown black ones are much more of a starfish shape and the valves are in a different position. Thanks for trying to help though I've uploaded pics of the other 2 sets - see post #1. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Team dynamics are monza I used to have a setAnd the last ones look like watanabe I think??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdutton007 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Team dynamics are monza I used to have a setAnd the last ones look like watanabe I think??? Yep - they're Monza Rs. Many thanks!!! The last ones are similar to Watanabe RS8s but mine have split-rim bolts (possibly not the technical term). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Last ones look like Watanabe rs8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 valves are in the same position lol, and some replicas have slightly fatter spokes. If you disagree fair enough, good luck identifying them tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Last ones also could be black racings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sdutton007 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I've now taken a look inside most of the wheels and got some more info. The "Super Aspire R" Split Rims say "Heroes Racing" and "Japan" on the inside. The 1st set (the ones with the unreadable logo) also say they're from Japan. Looks like all of them (except for the Team Dynamics ones obviously) are JDM Team dynamics are monza I used to have a setAnd the last ones look like watanabe I think???Last ones look like Watanabe rs8Last ones also could be black racings? I originally looked here: http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/15369-the-ultimate-guide-to-jdm-wheels/ which seems to show the Watanabe RS8 without the split-rim bolts, but since both of you said Watanabe, I had a bit more of a look into them... it seems that some of them are split-rims and some aren't. Pretty sure now that these are genuine. Blacks Racing ones have a different stamp (saying BR) instead of the Watanabe logo. Interesting fact: these wheels (Watanabe RS8) are the ones used on Takumi's 86 in Initial D Thanks guys! Only 2 more sets to go lol ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
