Any idea who made BBS style wheels in Japan?

[icemanhd]

I have a set of BBS style wheels that were on an 811 911SC years ago, they look to be very well made and have some markings on the backside including Japan, 16SX-1, and some date stampings 6/84 so looks like they were made in June 1984.

Previous owner described them below but they were on the car when he got it so no idea who the manufacturer is.
2 16 x 7 BBS style wheels 20mm offset (light weight 18lbs)
2 16 x 8 BBS style wheels,10.8 offset (light weight 19lbs)

Any help or info on who the manufacturer of these and feedback on quality would be appreciated!

Enkei is one I can think of that has been around a long time

Think I may have answered my own question after more searching, look like they are Riken. Now I just need to hunt down 4 center caps, from what I read online Enkei center caps may fit as well.

Here is my Enkei 16 x 7 et 20 mm




They are similar but different in the center.

They were sold to me at Super Shops , Van nuys California in 1984.

Super Shops?! Man, what a blast from the past.

The way the mesh/spokes are formed near the center cap area remind me of Southern Ways Epsilons, yet those are almost always a three piece wheel.

Riken made a wheel like that in the 80's
