Question Need Help Identifying Wheels

I bought these wheels for my SC to use on the track in 2007. They've been hanging on my tire rack in the garage since 2008. I can't, for the life of me remember what type/kind of wheels these are. There's no marking on the inside or outside of the wheel that can lead me to any clues.

Any ideas?

Thanks you!

They look like Fikse Mach V to me.

Maybe knockoffs?

It is odd that they have no info stamped on them.

I don't recall them being knockoffs, however could be. I've searched my email account, something to jar my memory of where I bought these wheels.

Possibly Fikse - but I think Fikse have "Fikse - Production#X" imprinted on the centers. And the hub surface doesn't look like a Fikse.

Do you know if the centers are forged?

Perhaps Formula43 wheels?

Jongbloed?

Maybe some obscure HRE wheel?

There's a very remote possibility there is a sticker inside the barrel, but you'd have to remove them thar tires.

Formula 43 was my first guess but were they around in 2007? Not too many companies make hidden hardware wheels and the spoke design looks very similar to the "Club Sport" wheel they are making now.

Fikse's use anodized rim halves as well so I would say definitely not Fikse.

I stumbled across that name in a thread on the turbo forum. Glad I could assist.

It's official. I've confirmed with Kodiak that this is their older FX style wheels. I may be selling these after all. I think I've decided to keep the BBS LM on the car. Either way, one pair will be sold.

Thanks again Haha for your insight and help!

Cheers!
