    Default What wheels are these?

    Hey guys,
    A few months ago i had a crack on the inside of my rim, which i got welded back up. But the crack appeared again under the weld and my guy said he didnt want to weld it up again as it will just happen again due to the weak spot.
    Im trying to hunt down the brand of rims they are so i can start looking for another one.
    Sorry bout the crappy pic, any help appreciated.
    Cheers Woodsy

    most rims have the brand on them on the back of the spoke. Some times you may have to take the tyer off. If they are gen holden they are normaly made by ROH

    Obviously these are Japanese rims. The VIA marking is not a branding but the Japanese registration and approval marking ( by the Japanese Vehicle Inspection Assoc).

    So you need to do a google search of the various models of Japanese branded alloys sold in Japan to identify the wheel. It may be out of production by now though.

    I would be surprised if these wheels you have are not manufacturer branded at least on the tyre side of the rim if no where else.
