Got these wheels from Osaka City Spares today, thanks Dan. While polishing them up I found the name under all the muck. Work Equip 'Spirit'. I googled it but could find no info, anyone seen before?

:o mad super rare!!! similar era to techno phantoms, star sharkss etc...
what did u use to clean it like that?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (awang @ Apr 30 2008, 08:23 PM) </div>Bit of a combo really...
Wet and dry 800, 1200, 1500, 2000 grit sandpaper
Scraper
Bosch drill with a wire brush
Dremel Tool with small wire brush
Armorall Mag Cleaner
Mother's Mag and aluminium polish
Arm power (lots of)
Time
The corrosion came off with Mothers polish, wet and dry for the harder bits used gradually then more polish, the back of the center needed a touch with the wire brushes to get off the hard baked corrosion, brake dust and unidentifiable crap revealing the markings. The paint on the centres is/was quite bad, still working on getting them ready for new paint.
I really like the wheels, I'm in the process of restoring them to their former glory. Will post pics when done, they will look the goods on my 86. New Equip centre caps on their way too.
Dan at OCS is a good operator, would recommend to all forum members. Always responded to calls and PM's. Thanks again Dan.
dam good buy
