Just to add if not clear from photo that they seem to be missing a screw on center which would hide the wheel nuts if that helps identify them

Pics of any ID markings on rear of the spokes would help nail this, unless hidden by layers of paint.

Hi yeah only things are ct22 on fronts on the mounting face and ct19 on the rears mounting faces
Made in japan
And nothing else as ET being split rims isn't marked as barrels made the ET whatever the original buyer that fitted them wanted I guess so no ET marks or width marks either

They are genuine splits though hmmmm

edit: that lip has made me think again :-k

edit2: looks like SSR Longchamp XR4R face with XR4Z lip, or similar. No idea whether the R was available with a double lip, or perhaps just swapped over by previous owner, or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree completely. Shrug.

XR4R: http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/1620 ... 070803.jpg

Really does need Cardhore to solve this I think.

Tough isn't it I've had no luck either but your not far off
Its the center where the wheel nuts go which isn't matching any of those but the spokes are the same or similar could be a mix of different center and outta lip but then you say they do come with the same lip but centers different again hmmm

Hopefully that guy will chime in :) and give the answer lol

Are these rare then from looks of things?

They look remarkably like mine! I don't have an ID, I'm hunting one too but I have RAYS ENG branded on mine. Came over from Japan on the car when it was imported. Crazy light too. Think they're the same?

apologise, top wheel on the pile has been split already. If anyone knows where to get 'RAYS 129' rim screws too that would be amazing. Don't want the refurb let down by corroding and flaking screws.

Wow very similar but only difference is your center cap design goes onto the spokes and mine wouldn't
The little triangle indents on your spokes but otherwise look identical! Maybe old school rays before they started printing there name on there wheels etc

It's odd as a replica wouldn't be an actual split rim surely ahhhhh I wanna know so badly :) :)

Hi guys, sorry to dig out such a thread, I have the same kind of wheels on my project. Was trying to get an idea where to get replacement lips since mine are 16x7 and 16x8, but I had no luck with that. Mine also came with centre caps and screws.
I got to know they were made by the same company that made the more known WRD Mesh. It later became Superstar Wheels (SSR for short) but they don't offer any replacement parts for those any more.
And I finally came to the conclusion that I will need to buy raw lips and bore them to match the weird number of screws (all split 16 inch rims have a maximum of 36 screws, these have 28 of them).
Anyway, I'm interested in your findings and will appreciate any info you've found.
