Anyone know who made these wheels (Arizona?)
I am having a hard time finding the proper lug nuts for my front wheels. (I am currently using Alloy nuts and want to change to steel). If I could find out who made the wheels, then maybe I could get the right nuts... having the wrong nuts can be so scary sometimes!
Anyway - the wheels are custom made by a guy in Arizona (I assume). They are a three piece and there are no identifiable markings anywhere on it. At first I thought they were by Kenisis but now I'm not sure. Here's a picture: (this is the rear, which of course has the proper nuts o' steel).  If I can't identify the wheel, any ideas on how I can get some proper fitting lugs? There's plenty of thread, but very little seating area against the wheel itself.

With all those fasteners, those wheels look custom, and they look a bit like the Fikse wheels. Have you scrubbed the inboard side of the wheel real good to see if there are any part numbers or markings?

try Complete Custom Wheel in Daytona Beach, FL
Complete Custom Wheel Your wheels look like a set they make. BTW, normally there is only a few different seat types, ball or taper (45° or 60°)

Wow those are sharp! I think I'll see if they make those babies in a 16"X 8...... They are just what I'm looking for.
