    Default what rim do i have? watanabe style

    Hey everyone, i have a pair of what look like watanabe rims but they're not genuine rims, they're that style but they have 20 or so hex head bolts around the rim simular to ssr style rims, so i want to know what brand they are?
    Did ssr do a rip off verssion? and does anyone have a pair they want to sell as i'd like a set?
    Cheers Stefan.

    Without seeing them I am guessing you have watanabe rs-8s. I think they are 3 piece rims using ssr rim barrels and watanabe centers? I think from memory they should have the watanabe logo cast on the rim center?

    They could also be Black Racing wheels, check for a little BR on the inner circle where the studs poke through.

    yes basically the same, the differences are, theres no watanabe simbol on them, they do have the JLL symbol, they have the same amount of bolts around the rim but not as uniformed, what i mean by that is the two bolts that are between the spokes arent in the same positions one is near the spoke and the other one is more towards the centre.
    In saying that i may just look for some RS 8s cos i like the one thats posted above.

    So if anyone has a pair or a set that they want to sell let me know, those or longchamps.
