Name these wheels

[imprezkid]

We were told they are a 2 piece wheel. The lip does appear to be removable, as there is a seem on the outside of the wheel, filled with silicon. THey look very similar to the 3.6 3 piece wheels from germany. The valve stem holes on the lips are much smaller than found on most other wheels, we are using valve stems from a road bicycle if that give you an idea of the size. Believe they are 18x10 and 18x8.5

So the question is can you tell me who makes them? If they are 2 or 3 piece? Anyone know where to get valve stems of that size?

I don't know about those specific wheels, but Kinesis used the smaller valve stems many years ago. I found one on the shelf at my local Discount Tires, but they don't appear to be readily available any longer. I was advised to have the holes drilled to accept the larger valve stems, but I haven't gotten around to doing that yet.

No markings on the reverse of the whee?

[imprezkid]

I dont believe there are any markings, but ill check again when i get a chance

[rcwaldo]

Bw motorsport used to sell replica 3.6 turbo rims years ago- could those be them?

I've been searching for a set of Speedline replicas for a while.
Briefly, I've found that RH makes a 3 piece replica, there is a company based in Europe called Kirscher that also sells a 3 piece replica. There is a third Euro company that sells a replica in this style - although I think it is a one or two piece. Details can be found on the R-list 964 board...

Looks like a nice wheel from the foto. Where'd you get them? Are there no details - stamps on the back, etc..?

Those look like RH Wheels, P-3.6

Definitely not RH's. Not enough bolts and lip is too polished possibly Chrome.

look like the one piece replicas FVD is selling.

I have a new set of Polished speedlines I am selling but very pricey.

Not to be difficult but look at the bolt patterns and you will see that it is RH wheels.

Well if you count the # of bolts the RH's now use the same 40 bolts as the factory speedlines vs the early versions that used 38. The wheels pictured use 30 bolts. Definitely not RH's I have seen. For some reason the after market versions always use a high polished outer lip and the RH's are less polished than some, these are highly polished. There are actually about 7 possibly 8 copies of the 3.6T wheel so this could be any one.

here are some pics of factory Speedlines and the last pic is Kerscher

[ej911]

I see your point. I have been thinking about some RH wheel for my car.

The RH's are a nice option over the factory wheels, they also allow you to use custom offsets vs the 4 sizes the Speedlines come in. The speedlines are pricey and a bit heavier than the RH's although the RH's can bend a lot easier than the speedlines if you hit a deep pot hole the wrong way.

Yes the bottom pic is a Kerscher. I have heard of some people who have a set but have no idea who sells them here. I hear the quality is decent.

[Bill Verburg]

Kerscher wheels are available through Cup-Sport

they are good folks to deal w/

[imprezkid]

These are multipiece wheels, the rear lips have been replaced, they are not chrome, its alot of time polishing them that got that finish. I believe they are 3 piece, but not positive. They are not turbo wheels as the offset is for a non turbo car, they are 18x10's and 18x8.5. Im gunna take some more pictures soon

Does anybody know anything about the weird valvestem size?(small)

[imprezkid]

I looked on the back and it said made in japan i believe
