Does anyone know what wheels these are?
They appear to be BBS, but I'm not sure. I'm debating cleaning them up getting them refinished but I don't want to spend money on wheels that might not be worth it.
I'm also thinking about getting Fuch or Fuch style wheels if these aren't worth the time/money/effort. They seem decent and like they could be multi piece. Any insight would be much appreciated. |

Have you taken one of them off and looked on the back? If they are BBS it will say so along with the size and offset.

Those look like 2-piece welded Japanese wheels to me, maybe Epsilon or similar. Probably will be some indication on the rear side of the spokes. If so, reasonably nice quality wheels, but maybe not a huge amount of value to them.

I believe that is a Riken wheel manufactured in Japan. I have two of them here (different bolt pattern though)

Yeah, Riken looks right to me as well. Decent quality wheels, not terribly common even years ago.

Yes, after arne’s Reply I googled a ton and came to the riken conclusion also. They seem to have the Japanese lightweight cert stamp on them.
Being as they are actually pretty decent vintage wheels I’m gonna keep them and refinish them for now. I’m thinking I’ll refinish in black, but.... gold or bronze is also on my mind. ![]() ![]() |
